Make Criticism Work For You

â€˜Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.' Proverbs 12:1 NKJV

There are two kinds of criticism:

(1) Unfair criticism. There'll always be people who love to rain on your parade; people who try to build themselves up by tearing others down. Mark Twain said, â€˜Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.'

(2) Constructive criticism. Solomon said, â€˜Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.' ( NLT)

SoulFood: Ruth 1-4, Luke 12:35-48, Ps 119:41-48, Pr 17:17
