Her statement was generic and broad brush.

Works fine if you trying to find a yelping dog.

Gee, that's original. And, I'm an owl, not a dog.

Owl, when preachers speak out against sin, do you assume they are painting every listener as a sinner? Or do you think that those who need to be convicted will be? When my pastor preaches, if I feel convicted, it's because something he brought out from the Word pricked MY heart. If what he's talking about doesn't apply to me, I don't get offended and think he's painting everyone with the same brush. No, he's addressing those who need to hear what is being said, and he is most likely unconcerned with those who are already doing right.

In your case, you should definitely think he is speaking to you.

When he is, I don't get mad at the messenger. I get mad at myself for being found lacking.
