"...Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you." Romans 12:3, NIV
Today's reading (letter #8 in Let Go) brought this scripture to mind for me. It's easy to think highly of ourselves through what we perceive as success in our human endeavors, but our earthly success or failure is not what is important to our salvation or to the desires of our heavenly Father. When we stop looking at success as an outward thing and focus on glorifying God in all that we do, our achievements become unimportant and our purpose here on earth is fulfilled.
We make it impossible for our egos to take charge of our lives when all that we do is done with the intent of bringing Him the glory.
