Accept compliments without trying to negate them – that’s something I have to learn how to do.
It’s 12 : 56 PM on day 1653 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, watch the South Africa vs. New Zealand World Cup match, exercise, feed myself bran flakes for breakfast, continue watching the cricket – SA lost we’re out of the World Cup but it’s just a game I still love my team 🙂 – pray, read Ezekiel 13 and publish my Disability of the Day feature.
Last night I realized I’m almost incapable of accepting compliments when people compliment me I usually say thank you but or thank you I’m just I hardly ever say thank you and leave it at that it’s not that I doubt the sincerity of the compliment I just doubt that the extremely nice things that people say about me are true nonetheless I’m going to make an effort to accept compliments without trying to negate them.
You are amazing, Nisha! You are a child of God. God made you wonderfully and awesomely. This is the truth. Because it is written in the holy scripture.
I praise you [God] because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14
Of course, humility is virtue. You could always respond to a compliment that God has made you wonderfully and called you to greatness. AND that God has made that person wonderfully and called them to greatness too.
Good suggestion, Next time somebody compliments me I’ll say It is not I but God doing these things through me which is very true 🙂
Thanks Stan 🙂 you’re very kind!
