JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Key Element for Thriving Relationships is asking the question, “How may I help you?”

This question is only beneficial if we have true intentions to back up words with action.

In Mark chapter 10 verse 47, a blind man named Bartimaeus pleaded to Jesus for mercy.

Jesus asked him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?”

The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

Jesus said, “Go, your faith has healed you.”

There are needs all around us. People with transportation needs. People with financial needs. People who are preparing to move to another neighborhood. People, who are limited by health conditions. We might be surprised at the opportunities we have to make a difference just by asking “How may I help you?” And then, following up with action.

Asking how we can help someone is a key element for thriving relationships that honor God.
