When God says .......

When God says .......

Open rebuke is better Than love carefully concealed. (Proverbs 27:5 NKJV). 

He reminds us that correction is manifestation of true love. Secret love is tantamount to pandering-driven by fear. Fear of unfounded perception of losing. Open rebuke bears more force & accountability. It empowers application, specially when gentle correction remained unheeded. 

For those who require chastisement a receptive heart is essential. One very good example to mirror on is when Paul rebuked Peter in the book of Galatians chapter 2. Peter displayed meekness when Paul rebuked him - "But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions? (Galatians 2:11, 14 NLT).

Let's be thankful for open rebuke. Somebody cares. We are loved. 

And I say ...AMEN!
