Listen
My relationships are transformed through sacred listening.
If
I find myself in the midst of a misunderstanding with another person, I
recall this verse from the Letter of James, “Let everyone be quick to
listen, slow to speak, slow to anger ...” This wisdom encourages me to
listen carefully before reacting. Even during a challenge with another
person, I listen for the wisdom of God and feel at peace.
Accessing this wellspring of peace within, I offer empathy and listen with my heart in my interactions. Before speaking, I pause and listen in order to strengthen communications.
In all situations I speak with clarity, calm, and understanding. In my mind I hold a clear view of peaceful outcomes. I am grateful that my relationships are transformed through sacred listening.
