As I sit quietly, I reflect on the times when I have been appreciated and how it made me feel. I know that a generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. So I pray for those who have encouraged me to be encouraged even before they need it. I thank God for the encouragement I’ve received even before I felt I needed it.
I know that every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. So I receive appreciation easily and with gratitude.
Yet, it’s not always easy. There are times I have deflected or downplayed people’s appreciation for me. Sometimes, it has felt difficult to accept compliments or recognition.
In these moments, I remember the ones who have encouraged me have obeyed the call to encourage one another and build each other up. So I do my best to not deflect or downplay their appreciation. As I receive appreciation easily and with gratitude, I show proper respect to everyone. By accepting their appreciation with grace and gratitude, I respect their kindness.
I remember times when I’ve been acknowledged for my work or for simply being me, and how these moments filled me with warmth and satisfaction. So I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds. When I receive appreciation, it’s natural for me to express my gratitude to the Lord for His blessings, and my appreciation to others for their kindness.
Today, I remember all forms of appreciation are gifts from above. Each compliment, each acknowledgement, is a blessing. And so, with grace and humility, I will continue to receive appreciation easily and with gratitude.
Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:
- How can I practice receiving appreciation more graciously?
- In what ways can I express my gratitude, both to the Lord and to others, when I receive appreciation?
- How can I respect and honour those who show me appreciation?
