But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (1 Corinthians 15:10)
This understanding is the Key to Christian Humility, Without the Grace of God and the Blood of the lamb, we are nothing. Any compliment we receive in this world, thus is directed to the praise of God for what He has done for us. Next time someone hands you a compliment or praises you, respond with "I am what I am by the grace of God", and send that compliment on to almighty God that it will not puff you up.
God Bless.
