Just listen!

Conversation. Its a lost art. Especially with a lot of "Christians". Have you ever noticed in the Gospels that Jesus listened to people , (NOT THE PHARISEE'S), but to the ones that would reach His heart?

I get really tired of egotistic Christians, preachers, pastors that don't hear the cry of people who are so quick to judge people who have questions. they don't listen, they just talk (or in their words, "preach") about how lost they are.

Can i say something? Why cant we just listen? Why cant we just allow people who are trying to find truth (which is Jesus) find Him? EVERYONE OF US ARE ON A JOURNEY, EVERYONE.

Just listen, its that simple. They don't want our quick cliche' christian words that we are so quick to regurgitate out of our narrow minds. they just want someone to listen, really listen.

Jesus is in the people business. He is in the listening business. He is the only one who is perfect. He is the only one who really, truly understands sin and the final cure for it. He is the only one who truly understands grace.

So, to anyone who may read this blog, I have a challenge for us. let's Just listen. Lets listen to the hurting people, the mean people, the weird people, the gay people, the wild people, the hurting people, etc.....

Just listen, we will be amazed what we will hear. Then, Jesus will listen to us as we pray for them and ourselves.
