* Chapter 6-7. Moments to Remember *
Work well done for Christ will receive a "well done" from Christ.
Artist Tom Greaves knows how to give compliments.
He designed a bright red-and-white-striped box for an art exhibit in Washington, DC, called "The Compliment Machine."
As people walk by, the machine dishes out compliments from an internal iPod.
It says things like, "Your eyes are beautiful,"
"You smell good," and "People are drawn to your positive energy."
Greaves won't say what his motive is for the box, other than that it's in response to a saccharine culture in which everyone is special and nobody is criticized, regardless of performance.
Everybody loves to hear a compliment now and then; that is, if it's genuine.
It makes us feel good about ourselves to have the approval or admiration of others - for a few minutes at least.
The apostle Paul, though, looked at what others thought of him or even what he thought of himself as "a very small thing".
He said, "He who judges me is the Lord".
He knew that one day our hearts will be revealed, and "then each one's praise will come from God"
Could there be any greater compliment than this from our heavenly Father when we meet Him :
"Well done, good and faithful servant"
