There is a fault I had some years ago.
I was so stuck on myself I often searched for other's approval.
After singing a song; in church, I would seek compliments.
This is the honest truth for that is what I did.
The Lord got a hold of my heart and changed me one day.
I no longer seek for man's approval but the Lord's approval.
For I have come to know that man's compliments are transitory at best and will be done away after a time.
The Lord's praise is something that will be lasting and forever.
He will exalt me; in due time, as He promised as I give myself to Him and only Him and not to man.
