Listening is not just about hearing what the other person is saying. Yes, God gave us ears to hear things, but listening is more than just hearing sound. When we truly listen and "walk a mile" in someone else's shoes, (even for just a moment) oh how our perspective changes. Perspective is meant to change and move us. Perspective is meant to ignite passion and add fuel to our flame for Jesus. "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak" (James 1:19).
Sometimes we have to turn the world's chatter of "It's all about you" down so we can realize it's not about us and all about others. Jesus first, others second, self—dead last. When you make people your ministry, your heart overflows.
