Sometimes, we all need to be rebuked. The Lord rebukes us because He loves us. How you respond to God's rebuke determines the level of pain you experience in your life. We all have moments where we sin and need correction, whether that correction comes from the Holy Spirit, the Bible, or a brother or sister-in-Christ. You have to decide in advance how you will respond to those moments. Will you accept the correction with humility and a repentant spirit, or will you be hard-hearted, defiant, and rebellious? It's in our best interest to remain soft-hearted to the Lord's correction. How will you respond?
