Teach self-compassion not legalism We need teaching that will keep people remembering such things as: "I'm not righteous because I do this. I'm not earning points. And when I fail, at whatever—solitude, fasting—I have not sinned." That's one of the most important things of all, because people are so bound by legalism that they think if they fail—suppose they're trying to fast, and the food in the refrigerator gets the best of them, and they break their fast—they feel they've broken a commitment to God.
