Jonah showed this video to me the other day and I though it was hilarious but it also got me thinking….Are we really listening?

We are all good talkers but are we really good listeners? Not just listening for the sake of it but allowing people to open up and share?

Jesus knew his disciples because he spent time with them, He listened to them, He heard their struggles, their triumphs and probably some big fish stories too!

I think it would be safe to say that they followed Jesus not just because of what he said, but also because of what he didn’t. People will want to be around you and “follow you” if they know you will listen.

In the video the guy thought he understood but really he was off…way off. It’s funny for this video but it’s not when we were talking about people.

Loving on people and being Christ like doesn’t mean you have all the answers….It might just mean you’ve got the ears!!

Take time and listen.
