(Pro 28:23 KJV) He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
I don’t like correcting others. I also do not like being corrected. Might I suggest that we change that kind of thinking. We have been so brainwashed by the concept of “seeker friendly” and trying to win people by being like them that we forget we are not to be conformed to this world. Part of that picture is rebuking, and being rebuked. Let me respond to the second part.
We, or should I say “I”, need to learn to be thankful when someone cares enough to tell us we are wrong or misguided. We need to practice the discipline of listening and hearing. Take what is said and run it through some prayer time, reading and contemplation. It may be just noise or gaslighting. It may be a word from the Lord.
So? Only you can decide if the word you hear is needed. Make it a habit to seriously consider it.
