When you come to the end of yourself you find God, means that society and yourself put you up on a pedestal that separates you from God and your God-Chosen-Destiny.
Society gives us money, titles, pats us on the back and tells us how wonderful, amazing, pretty, handsome and such that they tell us we are, and we ourselves can become very prideful while also being very immature but having no real clue of either.
Many go to a religion, give up their basic sinful life, and then they assume that they have come to the end of themselves and found God, but all that they have really found is a comfortable human doctrine that suits them (and their pride and sins), a cause, people who support them, and as they rise in the religion more pride which separates them from God further.
Satan is separated from God by a lot of sin and pride.
When society is dysfunctional and toxic the results is generations of dysfunctional immature people lost, confused, and trying to get on with what seems like a very crazy life and crazy world.
If we grow up in a sinful toxic dysfunctional home we become not only toxic to some degree, dysfunctional and sinful, we also are immature in adult bodies, because the child within did not grow up, only the body did.
When you watch the Fails on YouTube you see many, many people doing very immature stupid things and its seen as funny. The Fails channels on YouTube are very popular because it can show us that other people have bad things happen to them as well, and also that there are many other foolish people out there, just like us.
As an adult we can find God, but due to our upbringing we are still very distant from God because we cannot comprehend what God wants of us because we have so many walls-of-thought that separate us from God. Many religious beliefs are acceptable to those in the churches but not to God, so going to church may make you feel good but it does not get you any closer to God.
In fact it can take many years for you to get close to God, by the pealing away of each layer of sinful acceptance in your life, the opening of your mind as to what and who you really are, the separating yourself from the people who you accepted in your life since childhood who are actually not helping you find yourself or God.
The whole idea of finding God is the removal of the past, its a cleansing of what people told you to be, and what your immature mind accepted and told you to be, and toxic behaviors, bad habits, and especially influential people in your life who were very bad for your life but as you grew up you felt that they were solid rocks of honesty and goodness.
The reason why the journey is called the Narrow Path is because it is very hard and goes on for many years, even possibly decades. It takes so long because of our stubbornness, our removing of our pride, our uncontrollable desires must be removed and with the peeling away of each bad thing in our life (includes people), we get closer to God, understand what God wants of us, and we understand what God wants us to do.
You may note that the religious Prophets of the past were very reluctant (they were immature, sinners, and had the likes of pride), but by the end of the journey they became strong stable people capable of bringing the people back to God, and a natural lifestyle that is healthy for the mind and body.
When We Come to the End of Ourselves means that when we finally remove all the obstacles that were between us and God…
…then we Find God, because all the emotions, habits, sinful living, acceptance of evil ways and thinking caused us to not understand God are removed.
Because we didn’t know how to understand God we couldn’t accept God.
We tend to accept society over God because society has taught us that God is not there, so all that exists in our minds is the materialistic life we had set out before us since childhood. So as far as we know, this is all that there is to life and eternity.
To find God we must first seek God, and then be humble enough to realise that society made a mess of our life and our Souls, and with a cleansing that can last a long time, we remove all the toxic nature that society put within our Soul and then fill ourselves with Empathy, compassion, and care, and then we seek the guidance from above that was not there for us before “because of who we were”, not because of God.
During our entire lives God has been trying to seek us, and often in the most gentle loving ways, but if we are not open to God being there, or to what God wants for us, we will turn away and get as far away from God’s love and guidance because the prejudices and toxicity that society out within us makes the choices for us.
Finding God requires that we come to the end of ourselves, but when we do, if we last the distance, we then will understand what God really wants for us (and it is always good and will be very good for us) and we will see life and people a lot more clearly.
