JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Key Element for Thriving Relationships is a Thought Life focused on Jesus.
The foundation for a focused thought life that pleases God is Jesus. Philippians 4:8 says to the family of God, “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.”
Jesus fits the description of all these words. When we focus our thoughts on Him, we learn to see others through His eyes of love, concern, and compassion.
This focus will also enable us to appreciate these virtuous qualities in others and to offer them encouragement when we see them displayed.
A Thought Life focused on Jesus is a key element for thriving relationships that honor God.

Have you caught any of the Winter Olympics this week? It takes such incredible dedication and determination to get to the games — and take home a prize! I think it’s a good time to get in the zone and set our hearts and minds on Christ. Here’s the playlist for our “Fixed & Focused” theme.
