Gratitude Challenge Day 45: Appreciating Others
Are you looking for a simple way to deepen your faith and improve your relationships? Today’s Gratitude Challenge focuses on Appreciating Others—an act that not only strengthens community but aligns with Biblical teachings about love and kindness. Let’s explore how appreciating people around us can transform our lives and bring us closer to God’s purpose.
Why Appreciating Others Matters
Appreciating others is more than a polite gesture; it’s a powerful practice that reflects Christ’s love. When we recognize the good in those around us, we:
- Encourage positive behavior
- Build stronger connections
- Create a culture of thankfulness

What Does the Bible Say about appreciating others?
Scripture repeatedly calls believers to honor and encourage one another. Consider these verses:
- 1 Thessalonians 5:11: “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
- Romans 12:10: “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”
- Hebrews 10:24: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
Each passage highlights the importance of appreciation, encouragement, and actively seeking ways to uplift others.
How to Practice Appreciating Others Daily
You might wonder, “How can I show appreciation in practical ways?” Here are some simple steps:
1. Verbal Affirmation
Speak kind words. Thank someone for their help or acknowledge their strengths.

Common Questions About Appreciating Others
Q: Is appreciation just flattery?
No. Genuine appreciation comes from recognizing the true value in someone’s actions or character, not exaggeration.
Q: What if I’m shy or introverted?
Silent acts—like writing notes or praying for others—can be just as meaningful as spoken words.
Q: Can appreciation strengthen my faith?
Absolutely! Practicing gratitude and encouragement reflects God’s love and helps us grow spiritually (see Galatians 5:22-23).
Three Biblical Ways to Appreciate Others
- Pray for Them: Lift their needs before God (James 5:16).
- Serve Together: Join hands in ministry or outreach (Galatians 6:2).
- Express Thanks: Use words or actions to show gratitude (Colossians 3:15).
