Quick to listen (for L.S.)


Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry (James 1:19; NLT). 

Be quick to listen,
Slow to speak,
And always strive
To understand.

Let people see
How much you care,
For they, like you,
Are in God’s hand.

So, touch their minds,
And hearts, and souls;
Offer yourself
As best you can –

Then you will live
Like Christ, the Lord,
And play your part
In God’s great plan.

He makes everything work out according to his plan (Ephesians 1:11; NLT).

As we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world (1 John 4:17; NLT).
