How callous we are sometimes. How, totally unobservant! In our effort to dispense sage-like wisdom, we forget who we are talking to and dealing with. Perhaps, our ministries are too far stretched, and we cannot afford the precious time that is necessary for each soul we meet? Or maybe our heads are so swollen with pride, that it is not the person that matters, rather how good our advice sounds, how holy we appear?!
Whatever the case, whatever the issue...perhaps it would be prudent of us to take a minute longer to listen, to digest the words that person is saying.
Stop minimizing their issue.
Stop changing the subject.
Stop mocking them.
Pray for them, they revealed their thing to you for a reason.
