Reproof and Correction

“Can we expect to become like Him, given our imperfections, unless we can learn to accept and apply needed reproof and correction . . . ? How essential our capacity to receive correction and reproof is” (Neal A. Maxwell, Even As I Am [1982], 63).

Reproof and Correction

“With chastisement comes the chance for improvement, which, though we do not welcome it, we at least do not reject and resent it. Chastisement may occur in the most private circumstances of life or quite publicly. Either way, it is usually a major challenge for our egos. To be dressed down, as it were, just when we are dressed up, appearing to be something other than we are, is no small blow” (Neal A. Maxwell, We Will Prove Them Herewith [1982], 118).
