““Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.”
Matthew 7:24 NLT
Listening is important. Today I had a lady visit who needed to tell a story. I talked for quite a while and then I shut up and allowed her room. She talked and I heard. I value that discussion. I am grateful for her willingness to share.
Just now I caught up with Facebook posts from friends. One of my friends writes beautiful insightful posts about Jesus. He weaves into his post nature, the time of year, happenings here in Australia. Always they are beautiful. I am so blessed by his ability to dive deep. I don’t tend to do this. I would like to. I am used to be short and to the point. This friend takes time to arrive at the point and by that time I am washed of hurry and distractions. All I can say is: thanks Dave!
This very aspect in Dave is also in the Lord. I shared with my girlfriend today, “Jesus has taken 20 years so far to remove all the broken glass from my skin. Every time I think I am right, He shows me more. He is so patient and gentle! Amen!
