Everyone appreciates positive recognition. Likewise, people longed to be appreciated for their efforts. So why is it so difficult to speak words of appreciation to someone? In reality, it is not. Except, we feel too busy to take the time to speak.
Many people are living in doubt if there efforts are in vain. While they are striving to do well, it is never confirmed. A simple "thank you" or "great job" would erase the doubt and fill the heart with confidence. And it doesn't take much effort to achieve. But it does take awareness of our surroundings - we are too often consumed in our own little world to recognize others around us.
I challenge you to break free from your own distractions and recognize those around you today. Hopefully, you will recognize those who need to see the love of Christ through a simple word of encouragement.
