"No criticism is fun, but it can be helpful if it is from a wise person speaking words that are truly intended to help us. Proverbs 15:2a says, “The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge …” To me, a wise person is someone who: • Cares enough about me to get their facts straight and isn’t speaking out of assumption. • Has talked to God and reflects a gentle, caring tone in their communication. • And wraps their criticism with grace and humility. This kind of criticism is given with the intent of sharing helpful wisdom that is constructive rather destructive."
