"Criticism..."
Dear Lord,
In reading Your word this morning, the
words of Solomon once again made perfect sense. But like many things
in our lives we have a hard time trying to "swallow the pill". We
need to learn how to accept criticism. I remember hearing the phrase
constructive criticism for the first time many years ago. Even when
we are right sometimes we lose our ability to see and access the
situation correctly. That's when a friend can step in and point out
that we have missed the mark. It never feels good when someone does
that. It always hurts but it helps us to grow. It may even turn the
very direction of our life. We all know when the criticism is meant
to hurt and not help, and there is a big difference. But criticism
meant to help can do just that. I have never found Your word to be
wrong and it never has failed me. Lord teach to accept Your help when
it is sent in my direction.
Thank You So much In Jesus Name,
Amen
"If you refuse criticism you will end up
in poverty and disgrace; if you accept it you are on the road to fame
Proverbs 13:18
