Be Quick To Listen
JAMES 1:19 NLT
19 My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to
speak, and slow to get angry.
You learn by listening -- not by talking.
The biggest barrier to learning is thinking you already know a
subject. If you think you already know everything, it is
difficult to learn anything more.
You can learn from every person -- if you will just listen to
what they have to say. Everyone knows something you do not
know.
Pride robs you from learning from others. Pride keeps you
ignorant -- while making you think you are wise.
ROMANS 1:22 NLT
22 Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead.
This is not to say you should accept everything you hear as
truth -- just that you should be humble enough, and respect
people enough, to listen and evaluate what they have to say.
Listen and learn. Talk too much and only embarrass yourself.
PROVERBS 17:27-28 ICB
27 The person who has knowledge says very little. And a person
with understanding stays calm.
28 Even a foolish person seems to be wise if he keeps quiet. He
appears to have understanding if he doesn't speak.
Proud people act as if they have a duty to display their
superior knowledge to all who will listen. They are quick to
speak, because they "know" they are right.
PROVERBS 10:19 ICB
19 If you talk a lot, you are sure to sin. If you are wise, you
will keep quiet.
It is not wrong to talk -- just don't talk too much. And don't
be so anxious to impress people with what you know.
ECCLESIASTES 5:3 NLT
3 Just as being too busy gives you nightmares, being a fool
makes you a blabbermouth.
3 Keys To A Happy Marriage
(Or, any relationship.)
JOHN 13:17 KJV
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
1. Be thankful.
It all starts with attitude. If you don't stay on the positive
side, failure is inevitable. You cannot have a happy marriage
without happy people. Have you noticed that unthankful people
are never happy?
2. Express your appreciation.
Let your spouse know by word and deed that you appreciate them.
Be specific and lavish in your praise and thanks. Nothing
encourages people like encouragement.
People love people who love them. If you want your spouse to
love you, the best thing you can do is love them, and let them
know it.
3. Aim to please.
If you make them happy, you will be happy. True happiness is
never found in trying to please ourselves. Fulfillment comes
from accomplishment, and the greatest accomplishment is helping
someone else in their life.
