My Thoughts

Proverbs 9:7-9

Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

When you or a loved-one corrects you, how do you respond? Do you abuse yourself mentally in turn causing emotional injury? How can you reprove yourself if you are a scoffer or you will end up hating yourself. Become like the wise man and you will respect yourself and become wiser still with self inspection and learning.

In other words don't get depressed and get yourself down. That your own reproof and life a righteous life and increase in learning.

Love,
Dad
