Are You a Compliment Killer?

Q: I never know what to say when people say nice things about me, like when they tell me I have pretty eyes or point out a spiritual gift.  I don’t want to be prideful, but mostly I just feel awkward and embarrassed by the attention. What should I say when someone gives me a compliment?

Thomas à Kempis
“Be faithful to your secret place, and it will become your closest friend and bring you much comfort. In silence and stillness a devout person grows spiritually and learns the hidden things of the Bible. Tears shed there bring cleansing. God draws near to the one who withdraws for a while. It is better for you to look after yourself this way in private than to perform wonders in public while neglecting your soul.”
Thomas à Kempis
