Have you ever found yourself in the wrong place or at the wrong time for an appoint-ment? Often, this is the result of miscommunication. What was said, and what you heard, were not the same. How many of our struggles in life could be avoided if we just listened better? Parents, when giving their children important instructions, will often preface by saying something like, “Listen! This is important.” It is no accident that God gave us two ears but only one mouth. Listening is important. This is especially true when we are committed to introducing the people we love to the Jesus we love. Listening with Care allows you to pay attention to people’s dreams and their pain, while also listening for the Holy Spirit to reveal how God is working in their lives. When we learn to ”Listen with Care,” we discover how to BLESS others.
