06/20/18 GRACE and NAIVETY
Two ways to avoid being hurt by unjust criticism:
Grace (focused on Jesus);
Naivety (not realizing you are the goat). hehe
I have sometimes been so naive that I did not realize I was being criticized. hehehe. Probably a lot more often than I realize. I guess you could say, "Naivete is the simple response." hehehe
I have also realized when being targeted by unkind attacks, but responded in the Christlike way of grace (which some people mistake as naivete or weakness).
Responding with grace does not mean that we are spineless or that grace never stands up or speaks up. This simply points out that grace is not reactionary in the same spirit as the unjust and unkind critics
