Teach Me to Be Teachable

Lord, teach me to be teachable,
To love to learn and grow,
To willingly admit my need
And hear what others know.

Lord, show me how to listen well
(More often than I speak),
To care what others think and feel
Without pride’s sharp critique.

Lord, give me wisdom from above
That wants to be set right,
Accepts correction as a gift,
And seeks revealing light.

Christina Joy Hommes

But the wisdom that is from above is…easy to be intreated. James 3:17

Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. Proverbs 9:8b-9

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: James 1:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 3:19-21

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Ephesians 5:13
