The Priority of Listening - Counseling One Another
The discipline of listening is one we can find very difficult to maintain. But it seems this is not just our struggle. Over conversations with others who counsel find them admitting the same. Far too often, most of us are trigger-happy with our counsel. As biblical counselors, we seem to always be ready to speak, to offer advice, to tell people what they should do. But listening is also essential. Godly listening is a patient, others-focused, intentional expression of biblical love.
