“Seek first to understand; then to be understood.” Stephen Covey

“Love is not self-seeking.” 1Cor.13

Seeing another’s point of view is easier when you feel how they feel. If there is ever a time to put yourself in another person’s shoes it is after you have hurt them. Using your imagination may help, but the Spirit of Christ will help more. The point is not to beat oneself up--that is only a form of self-centered thinking. The point is get out of yourself, to humbly listen, seek to understand and patiently serve the cause of healing if only in your prayers.   Conversations Within” ts 5/2/2014
