I could stand to be a better listener. How about you?
Learning to listen. It’s one pursuit that will change your relationships profoundly. Listening enables you to connect, heal, love, guide, celebrate and honor others. To truly impact people’s lives.
I’m including a link to a particularly insightful blogpost by Gavin Ortlund. Each of us could easily invest time each day digesting the qualities of good listeners one at a time. How might living them every day change our corners of the world?
He hears his children and answers them. That’s hard to grasp, that our cries are heard. Our pleading. Our whispered prayers. Even though He knows our thoughts, God loves to hear us call on Him.
I asked God to forgive my sins and received His gift of everlasting life. It delighted Him to hear me calling for Him to save me. He had been calling me all my life.
I was hit by a car when I went for a run. I could have been killed if things would have played out a bit differently.
Ever feel like you have to keep learning the same lessons over and over? God keeps loving and teaching us. He just asks that we listen.
