Today cast lists were posted for yet another batch of shows here at Liberty. And I received a timely and thought-provoking bit of wisdom in my inbox:
Proud vs. Humble - Recognition
Proud people crave self-advancement.
"I've got to word this report in a way that sets me apart from the pack."
But humble people desire to promote others.
"How can I word this so that everybody gets the credit they deserve?"
Proud people feel wounded when others are promoted and they're overlooked.
"Why would they put her in charge?"
Humble people are excited when others are lifted up.
"Congratulations! Let me know how I can help."
Proud people are elated by praise and deflated by criticism.
"He's always shooting my ideas down!"
Humble people know that any praise for their accomplishments belongs to the Lord.
"It's just by God's grace."
What does recognition—or the lack of it—reveal about the condition of your heart?
