Listening

I like to think of myself as a pretty good listener.I really have to be,for 2 reasons. First, 99.99999% of people have more interesting things to say than I do, and second,it's really embarrassing when people fall asleep as I'm talking to them. I especially keep quiet when I am a passinger in a car, I don't want any accidents,that's for sure. Long trips are tough,though.To not say a word for hours is hard sometimes, so I bring reading materials with me. God is a good listener ,too. He longs for us to come to Him,not just with our laundry list of needs and wants, but just to spend time with Him,talking,AND listening, just fellowshipping with each other.The more time you spend with someone, the better you get to know them .I can't think of anyone I want to get to know better, than the One who loved me so much,that He went all the way to the cross for me.
