TEN BOOM ON PRAISE
Corrie ten Boom explained how she was able to handle the many compliments and praise that were constantly heaped upon her. She said that she looked at each compliment as a beautiful flower. She would smell each one for a moment and then place it into a vase with the others. At the end of the day she would take the beautiful bouquet of flowers and present them to God with these words: “Thank you, Lord, for letting me smell the flowers; they all belong to you.” She had discovered the secret of genuine humility.
