Brokeness

Have we come to a place where just because we know a bit more, we have gone through a bit more, that we have also grown in our pride, that we have become resistant to receive words of advice and guidance from people around us?

Could we have come to a place where we think ONLY God, or some church leaders, can speak into our hearts, whereas we resist others, defend ourselves, from the advice given by people, perhaps at the same level as us, or people even younger?
