Grace for your spirit
Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, withliberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Romans 12:6-8
I just double checked. Criticism is not a gift of grace. It takes no special skill to destroy. If I am going to tear down a building, unskilled labor can wreck it. When I want to build a new one, I want people who know a building trade. God has given all his children building trades of grace. Grace to speak, serve, teach, exhort, give, lead, and show mercy. When we exercise those building trades of grace, the body will be built and souls will be strengthened. If you feel you have the gifts of destruction, discouragement, and discord, bury them in the depths of the sea. They are from the devil, not the Lord.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
