A Careful, Thoughtful Listener

A Careful, Thoughtful Listener Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving]; for the [resentful, deep-seated] anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God [that standard of behavior which He requires from us]. —James 1:19-20 AMP “With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing.” ~Catherine de Hueck Doherty “The first duty of love is to listen.”~Paul Tillich “Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. You can see that when you think the friends that really listen to us are the ones we move toward, and we want to sit in their radius as though it did us good, like ultraviolet rays.” ~Brenda Ueland “Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings.”~Miles Franklin “It seems rather incongruous that in a society of super sophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.” ~Erma Bombeck There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen! ~ Rumi “Blessed are those who listen, for they shall learn.” — XXOO Michelle Bollom RestoredMinistries.org Click the Bell to subscribe👆🏻 For more info click https://www.restoredministries.org Come Like Us On Facebook 👇🏻 Restored Ministries - https://www.facebook.com/RestoredMinistries.org/ Your Healing Hour - https://www.facebook.com/YourHealingHour/ Poetically Prophetic - https://www.facebook.com/PoeticallyProphetic/ Need prayer?
