Self-Reliance
I particularly enjoyed Emerson's essay, Self Reliance. It speaks of how important it is for someone to be independent and to not have to rely on the help of others. This hits home for me especially as and introvert, I don't ask for people's help even when I desperately need it. Self-reliance is really key to survival in today's society and it's a skill that more people need to posses. Emerson definitely hit the nail on the head with this one.

I agree that self-reliance is important, but what about the times when it is not enough? What about relying on the Lord? Maybe it's only once we are saved that we can rely on the self that contains the Lord?

ReplyDeleteYou bring up a good point. I, too, am not the most outgoing person. Abbey's comment also makes a good point. If you rely on the Lord, that should take care of everything.
