Whoever loves discipline loves
knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

Proverbs 12:1
The test of true
humility is how people respond to correction.
Do we constantly
blame our surroundings or others for our situation in life?
I could talk for
hours on this – I know many people that feel that nothing is ever their fault,
they complain constantly about their life, but they do nothing to correct it or
make it better and when you question them on their decisions, they get
defensive.
At one time that
may have been the reality – environmental situations caused our difficulties,
but if we are honest - - - - - we keep
doing things that reinforce our bad decisions.
That is why we need
others who love us enough to correct us.
Breakthrough is
never done in isolation; it happens when we are bold enough to let others tell
us the truth (and to listen!) about our circumstances and ourselves.
Have a blessed day!
