If you are thinking about what you are going to say next in a conversation, you are not really listening. Is what you are going to say really more important than hearing what is being expressed? When we do this we are placing higher value on our own perspective than that of the person. I have been a poor listener for most of my life. I have only recently started listening well... Try it! It works.
WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE OF YOU?
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. - Micah 6:8 NIV
