Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. (Proverbs 12:1)

Can I be honest with you?  I really don’t care for this verse!  Okay, the truth is it’s convicting.  It has convicted me to the very depth of my soul.  The reason I don’t like it is because I feel this verse was written for me.  I’ve been stupid.  I love to give instruction, teach, and share what God is doing.  But quite frankly, something I’ve noticed in this last year is that I don’t take instruction well.  I’m not sure what it is inside me that just rebels when someone points out a fault I have or something that I could work on.
