"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse. Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you. (Proverbs 9:7-8)
One of the key components for growing in wisdom is to develop and maintain a teachable spirit. None of us are perfect. We all have blind-spots and areas where we need to be challenged. How we handle correction and even rebuke says a lot about how teachable we are.
We must be open to the teachable moments in life and not allow pride to keep us from growing. Be open to suggestions, correction, and even rebuke from others. Learn from criticism. Allow God to use these moments to grow you.
