the end of myself

So I have been thinking on the words of Oswald Chambers for a few days now.......

"As long as you think that you are of value to Him He cannot choose you, because you have purposes of your own to serve. But if you allow Him to take you to the end of your own self-sufficiency, then He can choose you.............
It is not a matter of our equipment, but a matter of our poverty; not of what we bring with us, but of what God puts into us;not a matter of natural virtues, of strength of character, of knowledge, or of experience......The only thing of value is being taken into the compelling purpose of God and being make His friend (See 1 Cor 1:26-31)"

Nuf said huh! Very challenging for me.....
