Listening is KEY and we should accept the responsibility God has so graciously endowed us with. His wisdom through His WORD is cruicial to living a life that speaks of His love, peace and Salvation. We need to pratice listening more with our hearts and learn to give control of our mouths and actions and reactions to God and let His Holy Spirit work through us to help us control our mouths and open our ears and heart more to others in order to help them. I have found that if I just give the 3 second rule in my conversations before I speak that it gives the other person more time to go on with their thoughts or for me to speak more lovingly and objectively and stay on course with the conversation. I am new in the counseling area and by all means have much to learn. I am trying to focus on growing in Him that I might point others to Christ and a closer walk with Him while at the same time helping them to to come to grips with every day life, and have contentment and peace in Christ Jesus as they aspire to realize their goals, dreams and desires and calling of God on their lives.

I agree with you completely on all the points you make. People do want to be "heard" and accepted, not judged and condemned. Blessings, Randy Thank you Deb for your oustanding comment.

It is time to emulate Jesus who was so supernaturally natural! High time we stopped overspiritualizing which can contain dropping our "Christianese," stop trying to make people into our spiritual image and pushing our latest gimmicks or techniques as "the answer". In talking recently to an old friend of 3O some years ago we agreed that people truly just want to be "heard" and accepted. Those of us as believers hopefully will offer ourselves more this year than ever as the gift that keeps on giving. Deb Hi Randy,
