Scripture: I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while. Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way. 2 Corinthians 7:8-9 NLT Application: Correction hurts. We don't like criticism, we don't like being called out. Especially when we're in the wrong. But thank God for putting people in our lives who call us out. Done in the right way, with love and discretion at its core, a good calling out session may save our souls. Prayer: Dear God, keep the right people in our lives to carry Your message of correction to us, and keep us receptive to that message. Amen. Comments are closed.
