WITH A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR
Today's reading: Psalm 140-142

"Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they reprove me, it is soothing medicine. Don't let me refuse it..." Psalm 141:5 NLT

As my Bible commentary states, Nobody really likes criticism, but everybody can benefit from it.

Who better to be critiqued or observed by than our Christian brothers and sisters?

The ones who know how we should be living, speaking, working, ministering?

Who else would know, and hopefully carry out, how to speak with truth and love?

No, criticism isn't fun--but it is beneficial. And when a loving, godly friend points out where we are slacking, lacking, failing or flailing, we should be thankful--and ready to make some changes.
