"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus."
-Philippians 2:5 (NIV)
-Philippians 2:5 (NIV)
Recent research in education by Carol Dweck has pointed to two types of mindsets. One mindset, called fixed mindset, is when we don't believe that our intelligence can grow or change, no matter how hard we work. The opposing type is the growth mindset, which is based on the idea that our intelligence can grow and change with the right attitude and work. Paul reminds us that above all, we need to remember to have a Christ-like mindset.
When we approach relationships with others, we should follow the example that Jesus set for us. We should not consider ourselves better than anyone else. We should humble ourselves. We should be obedient to God. When we embrace these qualities, then our mindset will be like that of Christ Jesus and God will help us to grow!
Build better relationships with a Christ-like mindset!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your willingness to have a relationship with me. As I build relationships with others, please help me to model my mindset after that of Jesus. In His name I pray, amen.
