Confronter Is Better Than a Backbiter

Never attack a person that confronts you with an issue to your face. Embrace them as a true friend. A confronter is better than a backbiter. Unfortunately, many people prefer a backbiter who smiles to your face. Proverbs 27:6 says “Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy”. What a sincere advise from God. Let us be like Paul. He said in Galatians 2:11 that “when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.” That is the hallmark of a true friend. Your best friends are those who confront your weaknesses. Your worst enemies are those who feed your weakness.
