Gratitude Challenge Day 43 – Receiving Appreciation
Have you ever found yourself feeling awkward or uncertain when someone expresses gratitude or compliments your efforts? Today’s Gratitude Challenge focuses on Receiving Appreciation—a vital yet often overlooked aspect of living a grateful life. Whether in our relationships, workplaces, or faith communities, learning to accept appreciation gracefully is key to fostering healthy connections and strengthening our walk with Christ.
Why Receiving Appreciation Matters
Receiving appreciation is more than just politeness—it’s about recognizing the value God places in each of us. In Romans 12:10, we’re instructed to “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” This means both giving and accepting honor sincerely.

Common Questions About Receiving Appreciation
1. Is It Humble to Accept Compliments?
Many Christians wonder if accepting compliments contradicts humility. True humility, however, is acknowledging God’s work in and through us—not denying it. When someone appreciates your kindness, respond with gratitude and give credit to God (James 1:17: “Every good and perfect gift is from above…”).
2. How Should I Respond to Appreciation?
Here are simple ways to respond:
- Say Thank You: Acknowledge the compliment with a genuine “thank you.”
- Share Credit: If others contributed, mention them.
- Point to God: When appropriate, humbly say, “I’m grateful God helped me do this.”
3. Why Is Receiving Appreciation Difficult?
Some reasons include:
- Fear of pride
- Feeling unworthy
- Not wanting attention
Remember, Ephesians 4:29 encourages us to use words that “build others up.” Allowing others to appreciate us lets them practice encouragement.
Practical Steps for Embracing Appreciation
1. Practice Mindful Acceptance
When someone expresses gratitude or compliments you:
- Listen fully before responding.
- Smile and maintain eye contact.
- Thank them sincerely.
2. Reflect on Your Value in Christ
Remind yourself that your worth comes from God. Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Receiving appreciation doesn’t diminish humility—it celebrates God’s handiwork.
3. Encourage Others to Receive Well
Model gracious acceptance for friends, family, and church members:
- Affirm their strengths.
- Share Bible verses about encouragement.
- Pray together for hearts open to both giving and receiving appreciation.
Bible Inspiration: Receiving and Giving Thanks
Consider how Paul often thanked believers for their faithfulness (Philippians 1:3). He received their encouragement and gave thanks—setting an example for us.
Overcoming Barriers to Receiving Appreciation
If you struggle with accepting praise:
- Pray for a humble heart.
- Meditate on Scriptures about encouragement.
- Practice receiving appreciation in small ways.
Conclusion: Step Into Grace
Receiving appreciation is a gift—an opportunity to celebrate God’s goodness working through us. The next time someone honors you, accept it with joy and give glory to God.
