A Rebuke From A Wise Person Is A Gift

“It’s so important to learn how to receive and how to give godly counsel and reproof. Most of us don’t like the idea of being rebuked. Nor do we find it easy to rebuke others. Yet a wise person’s reproof has great value and is to be desired.

According to Proverbs 25:12, a rebuke from a wise person is a gift: ‘Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear.’

Imagine how grateful you would be if someone gave you an expensive, beautiful piece of gold jewelry—custom-designed for you! God does just that when we humbly receive wise reproof. And He does this for others when we offer wise reproof.” | Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth #PowerOfWordsChallenge
