Becoming a lover of instruction...one step at a time.
Proverbs 12:1
He who loves instruction loves perception,
But he who hates correction is without discernment.
Personal Challenge
Why is it so difficult to take correction or instruction from another? For me, I believe it all boils down to pride. I want to be right. I want to believe that I know what is best for me and others. This, however, is as sinful and unrepentant attitude. For what is at the root of true repentance? Hearing correction, accepting it, and then changing my behavior. Oh, how many times have I hurt those around me by not practicing this teaching and being a lover of instruction. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
