Softened by God

Came across this quote recently by A. W. Tozer- "God cannot use mightily the man whom he has not wounded deeply." So how does God wound us deeply? I suspect that what Tozer is speaking of is that God in this act works against our own sense of invincibility, sulf-sufficiency and pride to bring instead the vulnerability, God-dependence and humility that mean that He gets the glory and not me.
