I feel grateful for everyone in my everyday world and every single person my Father brings across my path. Everyone is a blessing, and each encounter is an opportunity to show them Jesus and become more like Jesus. Therefore, I choose to show appreciation.
I let no word come out of my mouth that isn’t for the building up of others as I seek to encourage others and build them up. I look out for their interests and not simply my own, and I give thanks to my God because of them.
When a conversation starts out less than encouraging, I remember to ask Holy Spirit what He loves about the person. What He shows me, I genuinely compliment them on. It diffuses most situations and helps me see why they are so passionate about the issue. It brings Him and His peace and sometimes His joy into the moment.
I also show gratitude by serving those around me. I serve others in love and I serve them as unto the Lord. Because He first loved me, I can love them. Perfect love is the love I receive from Him and share with them. Perfect love is limitless because His love has no bounds.
To everyone I meet, regardless of the type of encounter we have, I silently say, “Thank you who you are and for your purpose in this life.” I bless them with the love of the Lord.
Today, I affirm my appreciation towards others by making eye contact and smiling and putting their needs ahead of my own. It’s a decision, emotion and action of gratitude that confirms I appreciate wholeheartedly those He’s blessed me with and entrusts me to.
Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:
- What are the ways You want me to show my gratitude toward others today?
- Is there someone You want me to apologize to and/or forgive?
- How do You want me to increase my feeling of gratitude?
