Are you a good listener?
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; …. (James 1:19 ESV)
Here is my interpretation of James 1:19. Relationships will be strengthened when we to learn to close our mouth and open our ears.
Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. (Proverbs 13:3 ESV)
When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. (Proverbs 10:19 ESV)
Be nice to someone today. Listen to what they are saying.
Even better, listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say to you.
