Listen Up!

"Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears..."  James 1:19 (The Message)



"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." --Stephen Covey, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.





Lord, teach Alyssa and Kyle to lead with their ears.  Help them to be good listeners of instruction, of people's hearts, and of You.  Investing themselves in understanding other people's words will be a benefit in their lives.  Being quick to listen and slow to speak will help them go far in relationships and in ministry.  Dear Father, thank you for hearing and listening this way.  May Alyssa and Kyle reflect you to the world around them with their ears that hear.
