speak and listen

Do you find that some people are good listeners and some are good speakers and some are neither? You can tell when people disengage from you, when they aren’t interested, when they are distracted. You crave the validation that comes from someone being attentive to you. Don’t you find that I am the best listener when you come to me in prayer? I am interested and attentive to you and never distracted. Perhaps you only know this by faith but you can know it without doubt. Are you willing to reverse the roles? For if you are attentive to me you will find that I am the best speaker as well. You have my promise that my sheep hear my voice and I have much to reveal to you by my Spirit.
