since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. Proverbs 1:30-31

A few days ago we talked about being on the receiving side of “I told you so.” Have you ever been on the sending side? Depending on the situation, there could be laughter, but more often than not, there’s pain and suffering and tears. In fact, often you want to be wrong because you know the pain it will cause.

When we deal with people – regardless of the circumstances – this is one area that we need to tread lightly.

“Be kind. Remember everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” -Plato

Just because you’re right doesn’t mean you have to flaunt it despite the overwhelming urge to do so. Using self-control in this isntance is a very wise choice.
