What a Wonderful Gift
“Let every one regard the rest as being of more account than himself; each fixing his attention, not simply on his own interests, but on those of others also.” Philippians 2:3b-4 (MSNT)
There is a wonderful and easy way to obey the above Scripture and that is to become a “listener.” When we take the time to listen to someone we are regarding, caring, considering and respecting that person. We are esteeming them more than we esteem ourselves because we have to hold our thoughts to hear their thoughts.
There is a group of people who need our listening ear more than we may ever realize, they are our families and loved-ones. Today is a good day to convey a strong message of love to them.
In our listening we are saying to those we love, “You are important to me. I am listening to you. I esteem you.”
What a beautiful gift to give.

This is so true. Alot of times we are better friends to strangers and take better care of other people than we do the people we love so much and live in the same household. It is unfortunate that we have to be reminded of this simple but yet such important place that we hold. It doesn't matter who you are if you are a child or and adult, male or female. God has shown us and told us how important we are to Him, to our families, friends and also to the whole world. He told us to take care of what He has given us and then He can Bless us with more of what He has for us. Thank you for sharing God's word. What you shared, God has been speaking personally to me, I am going to be obedient.
