When someone criticizes we must quickly discern if they are trying to help us or hurt us. If it’s meant to be hurtful, realize their criticism says a lot more about their insecurities than our inadequacies. We can’t fix whatever hurt caused them to lash out. But we can decide to stay calm and not compound the hurt. Proverbs 15:1-2 teaches, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly."
