Primary text: James 1:19
Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you, speak in such a way that others love to listen to you.
This weekend, the words of James challenge us to be quick to listen slow. Yes, you read that right. There is an element of irony in James’s words, because the fact of the matter is you can’t listen quickly. You can’t listen quickly if you do it right. But you can be quick to listen. Most people don’t listen with the intent to understand. They listen with the intent to reply. The words of James don’t bring us here us here to hand us shame, but rather, hope. And to hand us a new way to love people in conversation. Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you and speak in such a way that others love to listen to you.
