God has the ability to transform all things, even the opinions of others can be used to help us in our spiritual development, for our growth, even when the person's intentions are not correct.

Way to life is to keep the instruction;
But he who rejects rebuke errs.
He who conceals hatred has lying lips;
And he who spreads slander is a fool.

Proverbs 10:17-18

I think that no one on this earth likes to be criticized, no one seeks this situation, that is, no one is desperate to receive criticism, this is usually not pleasant. But even so, God can sound a little harsh in the most complicated moments. And we will be able to hear what we may not like but we do need to hear.
This is why we cannot ignore paying attention to the criticism issued by another, even when they judge us negatively, criticism gives us that great opportunity to examine ourselves, to see those areas that They are weak and that otherwise we cannot see them and thus determine to avoid different unnecessary errors. If we avoid and do not listen, we may somehow delay part of our growth, avoiding criticism also puts limits on our development.

The ear that listens to the warnings of life,
He will dwell among the wise.

Proverbs 15:31

With this I am not saying that we should take all opinions about us as true, in any case it is important that we evaluate each criticism in the healthiest and most correct way. The first thing is not to immediately reject the comment or criticism at first, much less should we defend ourselves impulsively or reactively. On the contrary, we must consider that criticism or that comment and try to discover if God is telling us something through it, then we must be grateful to that person for that interest in our growth and thus we must reflect on that criticism received.
It is important that when we reflect we can also make an instruction discovering what our beliefs or our behaviors are according to that comment we have received, observe this criticism as a great opportunity to grow and develop, and if we have offended we apologize and apologize. let's move on.
Let us always keep in mind that Jesus Christ died on the cross so that we may have freedom and, above all, security in him. By remembering that we will also remember that the disapproval and criticism of others is less painful and important but it cannot go unnoticed. .
