Good Listeners Shine

In a civilization that has grown increasingly self-centered, nosotros tin smoothen the low-cal of Christ (Matthew 5:16) past times next the uncomplicated only profound advice of James 1:19:

“Understand this, my honey brothers too sisters: You must all live on quick to listen, irksome to speak, too irksome to larn angry.”(1)

If nosotros halt a conversation too realize we’ve done all the talking, we’re non shining.

Unselfish people head too inquire questions. They know if those roughly them are suffering or rejoicing. They're interested inward other people's lives, sensitive to their views, too aware of their needs.

Philippians 2:3-4 is some other expert passage for evaluating our conversations:

"Don’t live on selfish; don’t endeavour to print others. Be humble, thinking of others every bit ameliorate than yourselves. Don’t await out solely for your ain interests, only stimulate got an involvement inward others, too."

Let's inquire God to assist us larn expert listeners!
