Sunday, January 19

Everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak.—Jas. 1:19.

 

Sisters, develop good communication skills. Christians need to communicate effectively. In this regard, the disciple James provides practical counsel for us, saying the words above. When you listen carefully as others speak, you show empathy, or “fellow feeling,” for them. (1 Pet. 3:8) If you are not sure that you understand what a person is saying or how he feels, ask appropriate questions. Then take a moment to think before you speak. (Prov. 15:28, ftn.) Ask yourself: ‘Is what I am about to say true and upbuilding? Is it tactful and kind?’ Learn from mature sisters who are good communicators. (Prov. 31:26) Pay attention to the way they speak. The better you learn this skill, the better your relationships with others will be. w23.12 21 ¶12

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
