Fame causes some people to become proud and arrogant, but that is not the case with "Duck Dynasty" teenage star Sadie Robertson. The young reality TV star has a healthy perspective of fame because she believes all glory belongs to God, and that she wants to use her popularity to become a blessing to other people.

On her Instagram account (@legitsadierob), Sadie shared a photo of an enthusiastic fan giving her a big hug. She wrote, "These are the moments when I stop and thank God for the position in life I am in. For shows like 'Dancing With the Stars' and 'Duck Dynasty' that have brought so much joy to people's lives that no matter who you are or where you are from, you can be touched in some way."

She went on: "Today this lovely lady working at Whataburger with tear-filled eyes ran and hugged me. She couldn't wait to tell me that she voted for me every single week on season 19 (of DWTS). I'm so appreciative and so thankful!! Thank you Jesus for your joy & blessings."

Sadie understands very well that if not for God, she would not be enjoying everything that she already has now in life.

During an earlier interview with The Christian Post, Sadie said the key to being down to earth despite riches and fame is to recognise the fact that everything in life is all about God.

Speaking about her two million social media followers, Sadie said: "I think if I would have come into this saying 'all of these followers are for me and these fans are for me,' then it would've been really difficult. I think I would've gotten lost in it all. But coming into it with the mindset of all these followers are for God, all of this fame is for God, it's not about making me famous."
