If you don’t
think you are conscience of your ego, you are mistaken. Everyone
is predisposed to ego and vanity and pride. Yes, everyone!!!!
If you don’t
think your ego is selfish…take a group picture and who is the first person you
look for? YOU!!! The picture could be a perfect group photo of everyone
else…but your eyes are closed or you did not smile…and it is a terrible
picture.
The opposite
is true as well … If you are the only one in the picture smiling, everyone else is frowning, eyes are closed, and someone could
be having a heart attack over on the side, but you look great… and you say, “Oh wow!
That is a great picture. Send me a copy of that, lets post that picture on
Facebook!!!”
Human beings
are driven by our egos and God followers use their ego to reach out
for humility. 1 Peter 5:5 quotes Proverbs with “God opposes the proud but gives
grace to the humble.” Our self awareness is an opportunity to demonstrate a greater existence by thinking of others before ourselves.
You know I love ya, Don
