Receiving
It is just easier to do everything myself. “No
thanks… I’m fine.” If I don’t speak up, no one will know. Just
look the other way and say nothing. I
don’t want to burden them. Really, I
don’t want them to get inside. They will
see all the mess.
Neediness is
not admittance of failure. Admitting that I need help could prevent the failure. Neediness
doesn’t mean I am inferior either. It means
that it would be OK with me if I were weak in an area. I can be strengthened
through learning. Making connections and
finding resources are the things of value. There is no value in pride. Pride brings loneliness. When I am in need of
help, isolation leads only to the creation of more need.
My grace is sufficient for you , for My strength is made perfect in
weakness. 2 cor. 12:9
