I personally struggle with this probably more than anything else. I thrive on good comments, on knowing I've done a good job, on knowing that what I've said or done has made an impact in someone's life. At the same time, if I accept all this praise, I feel as if I'm taking the glory away from the Giver (which in fact I'm doing). However, if I don't ever know that I've done a good job, I am not as motivated to keep creating. Ultimately, God needs to be happy and satisfied with what I do. If people join in on that, well, then, I guess we all win. Thanks for the reminder. It is such a fine line to be walking on, in my opinion.
