In our journey with the Lord, our answers to these questions about self, will change. They will become less about us and more about Christ.
If we read John the Baptist’s statement and other passages in the Bible, we might conclude that God has problems with the human ego. Jesus said we should deny ourselves (Luke 9:23), and Paul talked about being crucified with Christ (Gal. 2:20). It seems that self is what stands in the way of God’s glory. We have all prayed at times, “Lord, get me out of the way, so You can be seen!” We instinctively know if our eyes are on self, we can’t see God. If ego consumes our lives, we cannot reflect the glory of our Creator.

@LadyGrace Lord helps in mysterious ways.
@Jester1987 Yet His ways never clash with His Word. Only with man's false perception of the Word. He tells us not to lean on our own understanding, but by everything written in the Word of God.
