Do you have anyone in your life who can tell you that what you are doing is not good? I should add a note that says there are different ways to do this... some people will tell you with delight, pointing out that you are wrong, while others will tell you with compassion. Seek the ones who do so with compassion. God sends these people into our lives to remind us that we don't have to do everything on our own. God sends us these people to share the burden, to offer wise counsel. God doesn't ask us to do everything on our own. Look at Jesus -- he was in constant community, surrounded by people, serving alongside them. God provides for us, for our material and spiritual needs. Sometimes, we need to set down our pride to hear the wise words of others counseling us how to act. That can be hard, but when we listen to those speaking with compassion into our lives, they are most likely the voice of the Holy Spirit guiding and leading us, that we can continue to grow in sanctification, the process by which God is shaping us into the disciples we will be for all eternity.
