🌿 A Listening Ear

Scripture:
📖 “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” — James 1:19

Reflection:
Listening is love. Each time you pause to truly hear another, you mirror the patience and compassion of Christ. A listening heart builds bridges, softens misunderstandings, and invites peace into conversations. Today, let your words be few and your ears attentive. Love often begins not with what we say — but with how we listen.

Prayer:
Lord, give me a heart that listens more than it speaks. Help me to slow down, to be gentle in response, and to reflect Your love in the way I hear others. May my presence bring peace, and my silence create space for grace. Amen.

Prompt for Reflection:
🕊️ Who needs your listening ear today — and how can you show love through patience and understanding?
