Attitudes/Answers with Olen Baker Olen C. Baker MDiv, LPC

Corrections should always come in love, not hate.  We are better off when we can clearly understand the value of change.  It's never easy but if we are the recipient of criticism, step back, talk to God, and discover a better resolve.  

Ask God for the wisdom, courage, and strength to accept it.  God has designed guidelines for each of us to walk on the bettter side of life.  Sometimes that means that you have to change your path.  Accept it and reap the benefits of change.

Criticism is a negative attack on someone else and it never generates a positive result.  Turn to God to discover a better way to address your anxiety and hurtful behavior.  God will show you how.  

Isn't a conversation better than a fight?  Talk through problems and base that conversation on what God would say.  That's where you begin.

God did not design you to have a critical attitude.  That behavior diminishes as you see yourself, and others, as precious in God's sight.

Simple, or maybe not so simple for you.  Turn to God and ask him to send help, today.
