Criticism

Criticism is something we all experience. I just had this pop out of my mouth in a phone conversation that I was having with a pastor friend of mine who is going through some stuff. I know that I am not this smart so I give the Holy Spirit all the credit. We all have heard this thought before. When criticism comes eat the meat and throw away the bones. Keep that which makes us grow and throw away all that does not make us grow. Here is what I added. Sometimes we choose to eat the bones and that stuff will tear you up on the inside (bitterness, anger, unforgiveness). Let's just stick to the meat because if we can do that we will grow and the other stuff (bones / anger, etc.) stunts our growth.

Peace,
