Receiving Criticism

When criticism (constructive or otherwise) comes, how do we respond?

Most of the time, as I am learning, there is usually a kernel of truth in the criticism that we need to heed and pay attention to.

Therefore, responding with grace and humility is always best--putting aside our ego and pride and thinking we have arrived mentality.

Therefore, as someone else has said, let's turn criticism into coaching moments to help us grow into Christ-likeness and maturity.

This is no doubt a very hard lesson to learn because we are so egocentric and full of pride.

May God's grace give us humility in the face of criticism.
