Reading:
Proverbs 13:13-35

That’s what I want!

I don’t want to be stubborn.

Or close-minded.

Or arrogant.

Or hard.

Or insensitive.

Or unapproachable.

Or incorrigible.

Or defensive.

Or self-justifying.

Do you?

So how do you and I respond to instruction and reproof?

How do we take correction and discipline?

“Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured” (18).

Like I said, I want an open, tender heart…toward instruction…and toward reproof.

So when you see me in the wrong, please correct me.

Tell me the right way to be and the right way to live.

Do not let me continue in my error!

[A faithful ambassador is health (Proverbs 13:17)]
from Proverbs 13:17

A little bit more from Proverbs 13: What Is Your Lot?

Surely you could add something...
