Accept Others' Praise

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others. I PETER 4:10 NIV

I wrote my first book in third grade, y’all. I won a creative writing contest, and not to make you jealous, but it was “bound and published” by the laminator in the school library. It was everything to little Maghon, and it was the first time anyone in my life told me I could be a writer. I still believe them today.

Our talents come from the Lord, but we don’t always recognize them. We’re often the first ones to doubt our gifts, and it can take someone else pointing them out for us to realize how special they really are.

Sometimes God uses other people in your life to speak words or blessings over you that you may not even see in yourself. Believe them. Be careful not to shrug off their praise, encouragement, or compliments because God may be using those people as divine messengers in your life. Don’t block their blessing. Receive and appreciate their words with grace and gratitude. The world needs YOU and all the special gifts and talents God has given you.
