It hurts when someone criticizes you.

I get it, I have a strong tendency to respond negatively and quickly when someone close to me points out something I am doing wrong.

You know what though? That is love!

If you saw your friend running towards a cliff would you try to stop them? If they were in a burning house on the second floor seemingly clueless of the danger would you try to get their attention?

Do the right thing, speak the truth in love.

"Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you." - Proverbs 9:8
