I had a friend tell me a hard truth to accept about myself the other day. I knew it was true but in situations like this our flesh wants to protect our feelings and become defensive. But I was reminded of Proverbs 27:17 that says: “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” (ESV)
God places people in our lives to help us become better. The scripture compares this to iron sharpening iron. It’s not a comfortable situation but it’s one that will make you wiser, stronger, and more capable. So I encourage you to listen to wise and sincere counsel over only your feelings, embrace the truth even when you don’t want to hear it, and allow God to use these sharp situations to grow you into the woman He is calling you to be.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for your Truth that helps to develop me into a better woman. I pray for the wisdom to humbly accept wise counsel from those you have placed in my life. In Jesus Christ Name I pray. Amen.
