When Someone Criticizes

pointing criticizingWhen someone criticizes it opens a flood door of past criticisms to rush in one after another that seem to confirm the assessment.  The enemy takes advantage and takes a toll on the person’s value, purpose and vulnerability. Then shutdown and withdrawal are two major temptations. Let us be careful not to criticize and let us steel ourselves against the effects of criticism.

“…Every time you criticize someone, you condemn yourself. It takes one to know one. Judgmental criticism of others is a well-known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors.” (Rom.2:1, Msg)
