Have you ever tried to give advice to someone blinded by their own desire? Yeah, it’s pretty much pointless.
When we really want something we get blind. Others can see plainly, what we cannot. They try to help but we can’t see it. Proverbs 12:15 says, "A wise man listens to advice, but a fool follows his own way." Even good things if held on too tightly can turn us into fools. Do you know what makes you foolish to the wisdom of others or scripture? Is it love, or selfishness, or the desire to be liked? What is your blind spot? To avoid foolishness and regret it might be worth a second look.
