We alive inwards a globe that cherishes self-esteem but has picayune role for constructive criticism or rebuke, no thing how genuine or legitimate.
It's difficult to hold out wise inwards such a globe because wisdom REQUIRES humility together with teachability, honest judgment close our strengths and weaknesses.
“Do non rebuke mockers or they volition abhor you; rebuke the wise together with they volition dearest you. Instruct the wise together with they volition hold out wiser still…” Proverbs 9:8-9
We commonly try out people who'll say us what nosotros desire to listen instead of what nosotros request to hear. We'd rather experience skillful close ourselves than hold out good!
Being teachable together with humble doesn't come upward naturally. And inwards our acquaint culture, it's a combat to hold out God-esteemers instead of self-esteemers.
But Godly wisdom is worth the effort, together with thence let's pray for the right mental attitude toward correction together with facial expression God to give us simply about opportunities to practice!
