THE GIFT OF CRITICISIM

 
Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among
the wise.     Proverbs 19:20
 
“accept discipline” as referring to God-given
discipline. Oftentimes, God sends us unpleasant
circumstances in order to teach us something.
Sometimes, God gives us challenges simply so
that we might grow from them. When God sends
a lesson our way, we must accept it unconditionally.
God’s discipline will make us wiser and better.
 
Next time someone offers us advice, instead of
running from it, let’s embrace it. When we feel the
hand of God teaching us difficult lessons, let’s be
grateful for them. As it is often said, we are here to
“live and learn,” and when we do, we will live more
powerfully, make better decisions, and enjoy the
fruits of our labor.
 
With prayers for shalom, peace,
 
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President
