Are you really happy with what you are? One way to find out is to check yourself out when someone pays you a compliment. Suppose you give a speech at a meeting. Afterwords, while standing around, people come up to you and tell you how much they like it. What do you do? Do you laugh it off as a joke? Do you explain it away, say that it was luck? Or do you thank them and tell them you were happy with it too.
If you follow that course, it tells you that you really took in. What people told you? Why not, for heaven's sake? After all, it was a good speech. Speaking well is one of the talents you have. And all your talents come from God, so why make a big deal of it?Take in the compliments and be happy about them.
God gave you that gift to be used! And just now, you did just that. So use it, acknowledge it, and be happy with it. And be the same way about all your gifts, since all are from God. One thing more, when people tell you something nice about yourself, Remember to put that in a prayer, and thank God for it.
