True Listening Apr.2

 

Listening to another does not mean consent to all said. True listening means to wait and hear, and sometimes it’s a verbal machine gun of words, to give your presence the best you can.

Focus all your senses, then….

~Listen without correcting.

~Listen for another’s pain.

~Listen without envy.

~Listen without predicting.

~Listen without mental argument.       

 

Practice NOT wanting to have the last word. Truly hear another’s concerned story.

Prayer: Lord, help me listen to you first then shut off self-talk for longer periods and listen fully to others.
