God Wants to use people who are humble. To live for self is to perish, covetousness, the desire and benefit of self service cuts the soul off from life. Self and Pride taketh us away from the precious personal experience with Jesus. The only way to solve this problem for pride and self is to take on the full mind of Jesus Christ, to allow him to take full control of our mind s and to reform our think so that we become more and more like him.
