We live in a culture where the word “self” is often praised. We see it all over social media, highlighted in books and articles, and it’s been coined this generation’s slogan, and emphasized by motivational speakers and influencers. We hear words such as self-help, self-care, and self-sufficiency as the common theme. These words at first can seem empowering, but they lead to life based solely around ourselves in our own strength and in our own sufficiency. It feeds us the lie that we only need ourselves and we can do it all by ourselves, therefore we push God out.
