Listening

If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. Proverbs 18:13

I’m trying to recall something that was once very important to me…how to truly listen.

I found this quote on Pinterest yesterday:

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to respond.” Stephen Covey

Remind me, God, how to listen well.
