Thanks for setting this straight. It is because of my relationship with God through Christ that I listen and endure the times when God corrects me and points me in directions I do not want, and at time, bring discord with other people I love. I didn't always appreciate those who point out weaknesses and then encourage growth. I saw the pain of growth, not the joy of strength that comes from growing. I didn't like it when my coach ran us on endless wind-sprints. I didn't like it when my math teacher, wanted to see corrections on all our mistakes before we move to the next assignment. I didn't like it when my father make me sit down to milk the cow after it swatted me with her tail. I didn't like a lot of things that helped me develop in character, scholarship, and leadership. But, I loved the people who helped me learn, because before they were my teachers, they were people who cared for me and let me know that they did. After I grew up (relative to then, not my potential) I appreciate the relationship AND the lessons. One encourages the other. Let your remark be a reminder that the relationship never ends with the lesson.
