Cheap criticism is that nonchalant and inconsistent critique we allow to flow from our uncurbed hearts. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks...abundantly. To voice yackety-yackety disapproval without wisdomic thought is both ultra-cheap and highly expensive.
It is cheap because of its free-flowing, uncontrolled speech pattern which might be found to be 4% true. The rest is bad mood or ignorance at best; yet puts into motion spiraling discouragement which could be unrecoverable.
It is expensive because it kills the creativity as well as the ambition of our God-called dreamers. Furthermore, the expense is calculated when we each need very accurate and necessary criticism...but ignore it. Important criticism is likely to be dismissed due to the abundant unnecessary glut of complaint and whine.
Cheap criticism is a determent to our spiritual growth for its abundance blinds each of us to that portion of correction which is essential to our maturity. We desperately need critiqued. We are to grow up in Him. Random cheap shots perpetually thrust forth with abandon are costly for we are, therefore, programmed to miss that adjustment which might be crucial for our good.
