Serving God requires humility
Sacrifice
You give up your pride for Me.Meaning: To serve God is to serve others. So yes, one must put one’s ego aside – one is both a servant to God and a servant to those whom God wants you to serve. This involves situations where one is rejected, misunderstood, mocked or ignored. It is far easier to simply put up one’s barrier of pride. Here God reminds me of what He had to go through in order to save us. In comparison, what I sometimes experience is nothing compared to how He humbled himself for our sake.
