Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:1

Honest feedback is a gift that helps you to grow. It is your number one tool for personal and professional growth. Feedback is the breakfast of champions and successful people. To see feedback as a present, separate it from your identity. Separate the “do” from the “who.” 

One of the reasons we see feedback and facts as enemies is because we think of them as comments on who we are instead of what we do. We are confronted with a brutal fact and feel like is a commentary on our value as a person.

When you feel condemned by feedback or brutal facts, call to mind the verse above. There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. The brutal facts are not a comment on who you are as a person. No facts can condemn you or change your identity in Christ. 

Take a moment to memorize Romans 8:1. Pray for the grace to remember this verse when you receive unpleasant feedback.
