“Listening is about the experience of being experienced. It’s when someone takes an interest in who you are and what you are doing,” Kate Murphy, You’re Not Listening.
Have you ever experienced a disconnect in your relationships with a spouse, children, friends, or coworkers? Do you feel like your voice isn’t heard or like no one is listening? Do you yourself struggle to listen—really listen—to the people in your life? Perhaps you find it difficult to slow down enough in this busy life to hear and take in the conversations happening around you?
Listening is that moment when another person stops all else to focus on and understand your story. They not only hear it, but live it alongside you for a while. What a treasure to have a spouse, child, friend, pastor, youth leader, or parent who takes the time to listen for understanding, not only to speak and give a response! The truth is, we all have room for improvement in the art of listening. Listening produces fruit in powerful ways because it helps us pay attention to the Holy Spirit’s work and prompting in our life and the lives of others. It alerts us to Heavenly activity.
So many people long to just be heard, but how can we be heard in a world that's always shouting? Where do we anchor in to find the godly wisdom we need to give to those who ask for our help? This is a key component of being "Better Together" and walking with one another through life.
