Faithful are the wounds of a friend

Faithful are the wounds of a friend. —

Proverbs 27:6

Not everyone appreciates correction,but David did.
He felt indebted to those who corrected him and
realized how much he owed them. “Let the righteous strike me;
 it shall be a kindness. Let him rebuke me; it shall be as excellent oil;
let my head not refuse it” (Ps. 141:5).

Correction is a kindness,David insists, a word that
suggests an act of loyalty. Loyal friends will correct
one another, even when it’s painful and disruptive
to relationships to do so.  It’s one of the ways we
show love and help one another to grow stronger.
As Proverbs 27:6

states: “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.”

It takes grace to give godly correction;
it takes greater grace to receive it. Unlike
David, who accepted Nathan’s correction
(2 Sam.12:13),

we’re inclined to refuse it. We resent the
interference; we do not want to be found out. But if we
accept the reproof, we will find that it does indeed become
“excellent oil” on our heads, an anointing that
makes our lives a sweet aroma wherever we go.

Growth in grace sometimes comes through the
kind but unpleasant correction of a loyal friend. Do
not refuse it, for “he who receives correction is
prudent” (Prov. 15:5) and “wise” (9:8-9). —David H. Roper

When others give us compliments,
They are so easy to believe;
And though it’s wise to take rebukes,
We find them harder to receive. —Sper

Correction from a loyal friend can help us change for the better.


Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die Vorbereitungszeit auf Ostern!

Thanks Blue for sharing this very nice article. Correction is indeed so painful and most of the time it ruins friendship or any relationship at that, coz some just can't handle it. But I'll truly appreciate someone that will spend time in correcting me coz it means that she/he truly cares. It's soo true that correction is painful, but I can bear the pain.

I want to live by the moment and worry no more about my future because I know that God has already made the best plan for me. All I have to do is be faithful to HIM all the time. GOD rocks!

yup,masakit ang katutuhanan ngeks,
naay uban dli makadawat but instead
ma misunderstood ka,  otherwise
its better to be honest and direct
kysa magpaka-aron-ingnon
just like ana uban (puyras maau) nga
lain story isulti nimo, unja pag-abot
sa pikas lain napod nga truth ang isaysay
unya pakapinan pa ug i-nartista ngoks

u believe me or not..generally speaking
naa juy tawo nga ing-ana
with "crocodiles tears" pa (know what i mean?)

dli makadawat ug constructive criticism
unya kusog diay manghilabot

huuh human..human makatingala uyamot
nah jah "nobodys perfect"

we are just Human-subject to commit mistakes! ;)

maau pa ang correction gikan sa imong close frenz
kysa gikan sa uban tawo whos stranger for you
mas ulaw hinoon kon sila ang mosaway

close-true friend might be brutal in their way of correcting you
but you can expect @ the same time, that deep in them
they are always there to consider your attitude
"thats what friends are for"

GOD LOVES YOU
    Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
     John 3:l6:  For God so loved the world that he gave his only begoten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I agree, when one is corrected by friends, absorb it. Learn from their message and apply it if it is for the better. That is when you know a friend cares for you, when he or she cares how you present yourself.
