Read Proverbs 9:7-10  Everyone makes mistakes.  No one is perfect - that is no one except Jesus Christ.  And it tells something about us when we are corrected.  Verse 7 and 8 tells us that when a scorner is corrected, he only gets mad.  But in verses 8 when a wise man is corrected, he will love you.  No one likes to be corrected, but correction is actually good for us.  When we receive correction the right way, we can change our lives and then we will be a better person.  And that is good.  But the scorner thinks that they are perfect and do not need correcting.  So when they are corrected, they just get mad.  They don't learn anything.  They only get mad.  Verse 9 explains how smart people get to be so smart.  God says that when a wise man is corrected, he will be wiser yet!  Wise people listen to correction, but rude people do not listen, they just get mad.  So they don't learn.  When someone corrects you, listen to them and thank them.  You will be a wiser person.  And God will be proud of you.  So will I.
