Me ....amazing?

Last night I was in a group 
and was blessed with
encouraging statements about my character.  

It is interesting to reflect on 
What do I DO when complemented....?   
How does it land and rest in my soul?     

- embarrassment? 
- pleased? 
- defer / deflect? 
- pride? 
- receive?   

This morning I was reading about David's response
to God after Nathan spoke God's plans and blessings over him.
He was profoundly
thankful
humble
pleased

He didn't become proud
but he also didn't 'defer' the blessing
saying, Oh no Lord, I can't take this because
I don't deserve this.....

He received it....
and
He worshipped.
He gave glory back to God
and
he asked God to DO what He promised.
Read about it in 1 Chron 17:7-27

Lord,
I know I am Your son
and Your
servant
and a part of Your
Church....

and You have Plans and Promises for me
and You love it when I step up
and BE who You created me to BE.

I want to learn how to
Carry that.
Being the Son of The King
is no small thing

and Yet
You came
and
Served

as my example.

Thank You Jesus.
