“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak…” James 1:19 (NIV)
Today, spend time with your spouse, child or another loved one.
Have a goal of at least thirty minutes and make sure you ask questions and show interest in his/her life.
Let him/her do the talking, while you listen, listen, listen!
Heavenly Father, I choose to slow down today and listen to what other people have to say. I will not interrupt or plan my responses or rebuttals. I will show genuine interest and invest time and energy into someone else’s life. Give me eyes to see and ears to hear beyond their words. As I listen, I pray that I will represent Your love to them.
