Finding A Healthy Mindset

Finding A Healthy Mindset

“To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” — Romans 8:6

Paul describes two different mindsets—

two different ways of being in the world.

There is a mindset centered on the self—

a way of living that relies only on its own strength,

driven by its own desires,

and constantly trying to secure what it cannot grasp.

But over time, that way of living turns in on itself.

It gives rise to jealousy, frustration, and conflict,

and no amount of indulgence can quench the thirst within us.

But there is another mindset.

A mindset shaped by the Spirit—

rooted in love—

that opens into joy and peace,

patience and kindness.

We can feel the difference.

One leaves us restless,

easily provoked,

and never quite at peace.

The other steadies us,

grounds us in love,

and brings life—to us

and to the people around us.

Let us embrace the mindset shaped by the Spirit—

a life centered in love

and filled with peace.
