Knowing how to receive love, gifts and compliments is a part of personal development.  Pride is a barrier to receiving.  Humility is the solution.  If it is good to give grace, it is also good to know how to receive it.  Grace not only comes directly from God; He sends gifts indirectly through his servants.  Graciously and gratefully receive these gifts as from the hand of the Lord.  Treat the giver like you would like to be treated.

“For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:7 (NASB)
