Listen With the Heart
So often we hear words spoken,
But we miss what's said,
For we've not listened with the heart,
Only with the head.
We need to try to understand
The motive behind,
And give the benefit of doubt
When one seems unkind.
We may be misinterpreting
The warmth in their heart,
And just miss the truth completely,
Or see just a part;
How important it is to hear
Exactly what's said…
Lord, help us Listen With the Heart,
Not just with the head.
"He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,
it is folly and shame unto him."
(Prov.18:13)
