Watching football as closely as I do, I notice that it isn’t always easy for a coach to tell his player what he is doing is wrong. I’d say most coaches try to do it constructively, but there are always players that ignore the instructions, or worse…they make excuses and shift the blame elsewhere.
I am often reminded of my own imperfection through constructive criticism at my new job. It’s always somewhat of a blow to my ego. I’m learning pretty quickly, but my boss is someone who expects absolute perfection.
No matter who we are, we all need correction. We may not like what we hear, but it’s good for us. If we take criticism the wrong way, we can’t make the necessary changes and get better. We’re stuck in our old stubborn unproductive ways.
But if we can listen and take our counselors candor to heart, we can help ourselves out by overcoming the negatives and doing it better the next time.
There are many times we are hit with constructive criticism when it comes to our lives. God is telling us that we can improve and have a deeper relationship with Him. And we have a choice to either take that criticism and use it to build ourselves better or we can be negative and resentful about it.
