When you make yourself nothing then God will give you access to everything. I believe God wants a "face to face" relationship with us all but our lack of meekness partnered with pride and ego prevent that from happening more than our fear. If we ever stop long enough from telling others who we are or what we're suppose to be then maybe we could live in that "secret place" Moses writes about in Psalm 91:1; "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." God lives on "Meek Street" but most of us spend our lives in the neighborhood and not at His house because we have the wrong address.
