How many of us have described ourselves as good listeners?
But are we really? We all have strong opinions about a variety of subjects and we all want a chance to have our say. When someone is expressing their strong opinions, do we really listen to learn or are we listening in preparation for our rebuttal?
Or when someone is trying to explain why their day was so bad, do we listen with empathetic ears or are we silently thanking God that it is them and not us?
Most of us have a desire to be heard and a desire to say what is on our minds. However, I think true friendship is built on being able to listen properly more than saying things. As Christian singles, let's take the time to listen more and speak less. Our relationships, platonic, romantic, career related or otherwise, will be the better for it.
