And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
He can make me worthy if I am willing to let Him
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

To receive glory and honor and power, I need to be worthy to receive them, by being willing to ask His will and do it.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
I should listen for promptings and do them.
I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
If I am helping others, it means that my opinion of myself is that I have enough and to spare. I am not approaching my life from an angle of need or lack
