“Why Criticism Can Be a Gift from God” June 14
Nobody enjoys being criticized.
Whether it’s fair or unfair, criticism has a way of getting under our skin. It can make us defensive, angry, discouraged, or determined to prove the other person wrong.
But what if criticism is about more than the person speaking?
What if God is using even unfair criticism to reveal something in our own hearts?
In today’s readings, we’ll meet a king whose life changed dramatically because of how he responded to correction. We’ll also consider why God’s discipline is actually a sign of His love and how learning to respond humbly to criticism can be one of God’s most important tools for spiritual growth.
