I know the world preaches that you need to blow your own horn, preach and tell all how good you are at things. But isn't that being proud as well? I have listened as my friends talk about all the good things they are doing for the Lord, about how people said they were blessed or happy with their work and it always makes me wonder, is the Lord happy with such work? Whatever happened to working for the Lord and not expecting praise? Why do people like praising themselves? Surely if you are working for the Lord then the Lord should be the one praising you, not you praising yourself....
I am just tired of people running around doing things so that they can be praised and get recognition, whatever happened to self dying so that Christ can live in us? Whatever happened to lifting up Christ and letting him do the work of drawing saints?
