AI OVERVIEW: Criticism and praise are powerful emotions we must learn to live with; the right response to criticism can develop us while the wrong response can destroy us, and the same is true of praise. When praised, do not self-promote or explain; acknowledge it with 'thank you,' consider what in the other person prompted the compliment, and look for the character quality behind the praise. Deflect and redirect the praise by acknowledging it to God and sharing worthy aspects with others; this prevents pride, strengthens relationships, and encourages those who gave the praise. Satan seeks to misuse both criticism and praise; Bible teaches that rewards at the judgment seat of Christ include praise for faithfulness, and experiences promote growth toward Christlikeness.
