- Ego = your sense of identity, self-esteem or self-importance.
Remember, the moment your ego becomes untethered from your relationship with Jesus Christ it will connect to something or someone else and then you will be at their mercy. You will be dependent upon them (or that) to validate you.
Being untethered from Jesus Christ is the great tragedy of life \\ He is the only one that can be trusted with the essence of you.
Colossians 1:27 (NKJV) 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. I chose this verse as my life verse when I was born again at age 19. That was 49 years ago. He makes sure that I decrease and that He increases in my life. He had quite a mess on His hands when He chose me. For by grace am I saved through faith; and that not of myself; it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8 ( I personalized the verse).
