The Pressure of Self-Sufficiency:
Is The Habit Of Self-Sufficiency Just Pride In Disguise?
Scientists who think themselves sufficient do testify when the flesh fails them. Which means, all is vanity.
Self-help often promotes independence to the point of isolation — and you start to think that “you are all you need.”
The problem is that this creates an exhausting burden. Then, when failure occurs, you have no one to turn to but yourself, which only increases discouragement.
And God promises this through his words in his holy book, the Bible, when he said to mankind, and I quote: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” — Matthew 11:28
His grace is still here; Our Lord Jesus Christ offers partnership. You were never meant to carry life’s weight alone.
