“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be QUICK to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” James 1:19
It’s a known fact that girls LOVE to talk. We talk, we text, we call, we are constantly running our mouths about something, (no offense but it’s true) but one thing that we need to remember is to: Listen.
When we listen…we show Christ’s love…and when we love we learn how to be more like Him.
This week, I want to challenge you to close your mouth for a few seconds and just LISTEN. When someone else starts talking about their life and their problems, it’s easy to get distracted and automatically start thinking about a time when you experienced something like them. Usually when that happens, you eagerly await a pause in the conversation so you can jump in with your story and your situation. Everyone does this. It’s basically how conversations work; however, I challenge you to catch yourself in these situations and stop…take a deep breath and just listen.
The Bible tells us to be “QUICK to listen and SLOW to speak.” When you take time to listen you’ll be surprised at what you might learn and how great of an impact you can make on someone’s day. Everyone needs to vent sometimes, and sometimes it’s OK to just sit back, listen, and be a good friend.
Praying for you all and looking forward to seeing you soon at the Empowered Jesus Girl 2017 Conference!
