Seems we're so focused on using our voices, that we've fogotten how to use our ears.

Who has ever changed anyone's mind through yelling and telling? I've personally witnessed hearts and lives change while listening (mine included). Not just hearing, but truly listening and responding with humility, love, kindness 😊 truth & grace), and mercy 😊 action to relieve suffering).

As always, I don't share as someone who has arrived, but as a fellow traveler on the journey. Desiring and working to both be and do better. Traveling this road is a lot more fun when walking with others. Would love your company on this trip...(wink, wink).

Proverbs 18:13: "He who answers a matter before he hears it—this is folly and disgrace to him".

James 1:19: "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger".

Proverbs 2:2: "Make your ear attentive to wisdom and incline your heart to understanding".
