When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them. (2 Corinthians 10:18 NLT)
Too many people spend way too much time praising themselves and extolling their own virtues. Look at the average bio of the successful people in our society (even in Christian circles) and you'll see a lot of self promotion going on. Don't be too quick to brag on yourself! The praise you really want to hear comes from the Lord Himself when He says on that future day, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
