Just me trying to be honest with God.

“God gave us mouths that close and ears that don't. That should tell us something.” Eugene O'Neill.

Am I prepared to listen to others? Do I have a listening ear and empathetic heart? One way we express genuine love to people is by listening to them, really listening. Someone has said that God gave us two ears and one mouth so that we would listen twice as much as we speak. Learn to listen and listen to learn. One thing is for certain, we cannot listen with our ears if our mouth is running. When we see someone approaching, we should prepare ourselves to listen not talk.
