Heart Attitude #6 encourages humility in all of our relationships.

6. Receive and give biblical correction (Heb 3:13; Prov 10:17).

It’s easy to dish it out but what about when someone points out something in us that needs to be changed? Do we get defensive? So we lash out? Do we run? Do we stuff how we feel and pretend to listen? Or, can we step back and process what’s being said and own what we may need to be changed?

This doesn’t mean that you let people tread all over you. It means you should stop and listen if someone comes to you in a spirit of love to share something that may need changing in your life.
