Listen, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, no matter what you have to say, listen. Your experiences, your intentions, and your communication will be made better by the input of others. Listening does not mean you don’t have insight, just the opposite.
Listening shows first that you value others, that you care. It communicates that you value someone enough to hear what they are feeling. It also grants you a perspective besides your own. Of all the characteristics I hope my life communicates, the chiefest are faith, love, and valuing others.
My faith obviously, I believe The Lord Jesus is exactly Who He said, and that the evidence declares this plainly. I believe He loves, and that it’s the best pattern one could follow. Finally I know that saying I Love You and showing you value someone should not be two different things, but often it appears to. Taking time for others has taught me more than any words I have ever spoken or written.
Learn from others. Invite them to share what they are feeling. Speak to encourage, to edify, or build them up. Talk less, not because you have nothing to say, but because you value others. Edit your responses so they don’t communicate unkindness. Need others, not for what they do, but for who they are. It’s a wonderful way to spell the word listen, and in turn it also can spell love to others.
