My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, (James 1:19 NIV)
My listening skills are improving. Each time I tune in to the voice of the Holy Spirit, I can refrain from speaking out. Recently, while meeting with a friend, I found it easier to listen to all they needed to share.
I took some time to pray concerning our time together. I did not want to say anything offensive and wanted to give her time to share. All went well.
Be Encouraged! We can all learn to refrain from speaking when needed.
