Accepting Criticism

Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;

teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.


"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,

and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.


Proverbs 9:9,10 NIV

Consider Jesus' example:


"and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while
suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him
who judges righteously"

And remember...


A soft answer turneth away wrath:

but grievous words stir up anger.


The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:

but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
