When you receive a compliment, graciously accept it. Deflecting affirmation is not a sign of humility. Sometimes, it is a sign of insecurity. A compliment is an expression of love that can elevate both the one receiving it and the one giving it. To deflect a compliment is to reject the kindness being given.
Graciously accept what is said and, in doing that, you're lifting up the one who complements as they are lifting you up. Don't let false humility short-circuit the beautiful moment. A simple "thank you" is sufficient. That is a healthy interaction between people. That is the grace walk experience.
