Why should I give compliments?

2 Corinthians 7:4I have the highest confidence in you, and I take great pride in you. You have greatly encouraged me and made me happy despite all our troubles.

A compliment can be an expression of your confidence in someone. Many times people just need to know that they are noticed.

Song of Solomon 4:7You are altogether beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way.

A compliment can be an expression of love or appreciation. Many times those who have been married for many years begin to take that love for granted. Complimenting each other can remind them that they are still greatly loved—even as time goes by.

Proverbs 12:25Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.

A compliment can cheer a person up. Many times, people feel discouraged, worried, overwhelmed, but a few kind words can make all the difference.
