Luke 17

Luke 17:10
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.
