Help?

Allowing people to help us is part of God's plan. In fact it is so much a part of God's plan that when we don't allow others to help, we are hindering progress. Not progress just for ourselves, but for others.

Why do we need to do it all alone? Maybe we allow one person in, to help us; offer counsel, be a shoulder to cry on, make soup when we are sick, etc? Why do we need to be so strong and capable? Is that a western philosophy or a result of the fall? We humans, hide our weaknesses. Adam and Eve set the tone on this one. We are independent and strong-willed. We have been trying to do life alone ever since, trying to get through it all, figure it all out, weather the storms.

Pain is the pathway to peace, i get that in light of the "no pain, no gain" concept. But I am a do-er from way back, I need movement and action. I do not sit well with pain, like an amoeba i move away from pain, even avoid it all costs. (big sigh)
How do I allow others in my life to be part of the pain that i so strongly resist??

God always has a plan. My purpose is to get on board with it. His plan always includes others and ultimatly leads to his glory.
So if anyone is listening..........I am asking...........Help. Help?
