None of us enjoy correction or rebuke. Most of us will try our best to avoid being on either side of it. There’s a good reason God gave us that hesitation. It’s vital that you take the time to really think about and, more importantly, pray about an issue before you confront someone. It should only be done out of love. As you mature in your faith in Christ and He transforms you from the inside out, you’ll get better at dealing with correction. You’ll still feel those defenses come up, but if you look at the other person with grace and love, giving them the benefit of the doubt, it can be a beautiful opportunity for growth.
