welcome #reproof #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #sin #confession #repentance

use this criticism to refine you
iron sharpening iron,
even when they seek to harm you,
to tear you down…
 
welcome reproof, rebuke,
to gain eternal wisdom,
trust in God’s forgiveness
Christ’s finished work on the cross…
 
listen with attention,
listen with intention,
use their reproof to heal you,
to make you more like Christ…
 
gain Godly wisdom,
welcome their reproof
all their charges were forgiven
by Christ on the cross…
