Patience

by Rachel Jackson  
5/23/2008 / Christian Living

Patience is putting the other person's needs first. Listening to a friend more important than being heard. God says those that are the first here are the last in the Kingdom of Heaven and those that are the last are first in the Kingdom of Heaven. When we are more concerned about others and their placement in the "assembly line" then God raises us up. The part of their conversation, their needs, their time, etc...but we should not worry or mark it against who we are if we forget. The important thing is to try to listen, try to make time, and try to put their needs ahead of your own. When you listen you are captivating. It is not what you say but how you listen that determines if you are a good friend. People need people to listen. I would want others to listen to me therefore I need to listen to others, give them their chance to speak and with that we will find a life worth living. Their is enjoyment out of listening that you do not get from speaking. A conversation is better than a rant and two beautiful ears than a mouth. For listening determines if you are in the moment, and the moment that is fully lived will come out wonderful and remember-able.
