God’s word and your flower analogy have helped me overcome something I have struggled with for 14 years – receiving and accepting compliments while remaining humble. Thank you.

I know and I’ve missed chatting! I’m very excited for Run To Him! I know I’m in for a blessing and a “treat”.

Have a wonderful day, sweet sister-friend…

I enjoy your blog so very much!! It’s like you have a listening bug in all the corners of my house and mind. As a result of your series “He Gifted You” I am wondering if you know of a book on prayer. Any help would be appreciated:)) PS Happy New Year

This post resonates greatly with me. Like you shared, I struggle with receiving compliments. The ticker tape that scrolls through my mind is “no, I’m not worthy of a compliment or your praise”. This statement grabbed me:

When others speak praise for the gifts flowing from us, we can give a humble “thank you” and then hand that praise to Him, the Source of all good things. He alone deserves the glory.

Oh, thank you for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and sharing your heart. This post has blessed me greatly!

Love to you, sweet sister-friend…

I love this post Lara. I have also struggled with compliments and praise from my audiences – until God showed me that it wasn’t me on that stage – that it was Him working through me -that I had somehow become His hands and feet – and that the awe/wonder/love/praise showered on me, were supposed to be for Him. I am often reminded that God used ordinary people in the Bible – so that they would know it was God. And you can’t get more ordinary than me. So when the compliments come, I make sure the giver knows that what they saw was not me – that what they felt was not from me – that what they experienced was not created by me – but by the awesome wonderful Father who used me to reach them – and gave me the honor of a front row seat. So instead of walking away saying, “Wow, Kelly is so good.” They say, “Wow, God is so good.”

Thank you, God, for all the many ways you reached out through my friend Lara – and for all the times you have graced us through her hands, feet, mouth, and pen. May you always have the glory.
