Compliment from human and Commendation from God

Who do you want to receive a great compliment from? Human or God.
Nowadays, my family is looking for a great soccer team for my son, emailing coaches, and joining practices.
After some practices with the teams that we contacted, the coaches complimented my son on his soccer skill and ability. I got the emails from the teams:

It was very nice meeting you last night.  Your son showed great performance in practice. I would like to offer him full scholarship at the Texans for this winter and the coming Spring. I know you are looking for a great team for him and I assure you that the Texans is the biggest club in the area and my team will be one of the best teams in town.
Right now as you saw last night I am giving some players a chance to make the team. The plan for this team from the Texans management is to be one of the top teams in the country. So during the coming period the Texans management will be shifting some of the top quality players to this team.
Offering full scholarship is something very rare to happen especially as this age. I assure you you wont get similar offer anywhere else especially from a big club like the Texans. However since I played 12 years of  professional soccer and for my national team(Egypt)  I can see top quality in your son and be willing to make this offer work for him.
Please let me know your feedback as soon as possible so we can start get his paperwork done.

When I got this email, I was so happy and proud of my son.

In addition, today I got this email.
Hi Byung Hun,
We're very happy that you came to some practices. The coach and I talked and would like to offer your son a full scholarship for the spring season. No fees for training, leagues or tournaments. We think that your son fills a critical need on our team and would play a big role in our continued success. I think we could try to offer some suggestions for alternate driving routes also to make your drive easier.
We understand and respect your decisions to do what is best for your family. So even if you choose to not play with us we would still like to invite you to play some tournaments with us. The first is on February 3-5.
Please consider these offers. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family, and may God bless your family also.

Even though we decided to not join the team due to some reasons, I was so happy when I got this news.
Actually, we visited the best team in this area, and we decided to join this team. The team is the best team I've seen. There are great players who have good skills. While I was watching their practice, I was concerning that the coach likes my son's ability and wants my son to join his team. After finishing the practice, he said my son fits this team and he is a good player. When I heard the compliment from the coach, I was so happy. The fact that my son can join to the great team gives me so pleasure.

We are new creation.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!(2 Cor. 5:17)

What we need is to hear commendation from God.

So we make it our goal to please him(2 Cor. 5:9)

I pray for my son to have a great compliment form God by serving and obeying Him like he got commendation from his coaches.
