So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.'"Since I was a teenager, I've always hated getting complements. I always felt like I didn't deserve the praise being sent my way, but that it would be rude to say so. So I now try my best to just do what needs doing, and slip away without anyone noticing or thanking me.
The odd thing is, I don't mind giving complements for things well done. So I can understand both sides of this verse. I do feel unworthy of being thanked for doing what I was supposed to, but at the same time, I want to reward others who do their part. When it comes to God, I just feel inadequate, regardless of the circumstance.
