Today I'm writing on the subject of reproof and correction but what is reproof? and what is correction?

Reproof is defined to be an expression of blame or disapproval while Correction refers to the action or process of correcting or making something right.

From the definitions above, you can already have an understanding of what reproof and correction are. I'll give an example for better understanding, reproof is what your mom does (whichever method she chooses) when do the wrong thing or you make a mistake, while correction is your own positive reaction to the reproof that's by acknowledging and making right whatever wrong or mistake you've made with a sense of remorse in you.

You know that after a reproof has happened, you can choose to either despise the reproof or make a correction. Nobody likes reproof, but at the same time we must learn to receive reproof in humility. Now to create a balance, you can't be liked by everyone, some people are just looking for ways to criticize everything you do, so it'll be wise or you to distinguish between those who're doing it genuinely and those who're criticizing you. Apart from that, there should some people in your life that can reproof you, without you thinking they're are criticizing you. It can be your parents, spiritual heads, mentors etc, the aim is for you to have people that can correct you when necessary. When you're able to distinguish between the ones that reproof you and those that just find joy in criticizing you, you'll do best to just ignore the critique so that you won't be too concerned about unnecessary matters.

When you listen to reproof made by people who really matter and make corrections, there are so many benefits. And also if you despise, there are also disadvantages that follow too

1. You make progress in that particular area. Whenever you accept reproof and correct the mistakes made, you move forward and you'll see that you don't make that same mistake again but if you despise the reproof, and you do not make the necessary correction, you'll find yourself making the same mistakes over and over again. There's a saying that goes like this; you shouldn't expect a different result while using the same methods. And this is so true because if you keep on that path of yours, you'll keep on making mistakes and there'll be no progress.

2. The damage the mistake would have caused will be reduced or even escaped. When you accept reproof and make corrections, the damage the mistakes would have caused will be reduced or even escaped just because you made correction. But if you despise the reproof, it's so certain that the damage that should occur will work fully until you accept and make necessary corrections.

3. You encourage them to even correct you more in subsequent times. When you listen to the reproof of people and make corrections, they'll be encouraged and motivated to correct you subsequently whenever need be because they know you'll take the correction. But when they know you'll not take the correction, they keep quiet and can even watch you till you ruin yourself because they know that even if they talk, you'd despise them and not even mind them.

4. The number of mistakes you make will have reduced. You know when you take correction from others, the number of mistakes you make will reduce because, you'll be gaining experience on how to do things, that is the mistakes that would have occured after the first mistake will be averted already. But if you despise the correction, the subsequent mistakes you'll make are innumerable because there'll be no one to even caution or correct you.

5. You'll be able to correct others. It is only someone that takes correction that'll be able to correct others making mistakes. Because you won't even be bold enough to correct others because you too don't listen to others. Besides, you can only correct others when you don't have mistakes and damages you're trying to correct.

Thanks for staying till this moment. Have a wonderful day
