快快的听
“我亲爱的弟兄们，这是你们所知道的，但你们各人要快快的听，慢慢的说，慢慢的动怒 ；”
雅各书1：19
80年代，美国有一部经典的恐怖片《捉鬼敢死队》（Ghostbusters ），片中一句经典的台词让人久久不能忘记，就是主角丹·艾克罗伊德（Dan Akroyd ）在很紧张的气氛中说的： “听！你感觉到了什么没有？”可惜我们太容易分心了。我们想努力倾听，但我们的感官却总是受到各种搅扰，也就失去了倾听的耐心。我们今天最大的挑战，就是要改变心不在焉的习惯。
仔细地听，慢慢地说，快快地听，慢慢地动怒。这是一条明智的建议，可惜在我们的世界里却完全相反：动辄勃然大怒，动辄大喊大叫，从来不顾及对方的感受，更不会去理会对方的解释。显然，头脑发热和口无遮拦都说明对人漠不关心。而学会倾听他人，才是对别人的尊重和爱护。聆听他人的心声表明对方是有价值的，是重要的，是值得你花时间的。 这也许会影响和改变人的一生。
今日祷告：
主耶稣，求祢让我少说，多听。阿们。
June 1 – Listen Quickly
Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
JAMES 1 : 1 9
One of the best quotes from the classic 1980s movie Ghostbusters occurs when Dan Akroyd’s nervous character poses the following question: “Listen! Do you smell something?” We are a very distracted people. We struggle to listen without being flooded by all kinds of other stimulation that stirs all of our other senses. Our challenge today is to be radically different than the preoccupied culture around us.
Listen carefully. Don’t speak quickly. Listen quickly. Don’t get angry quickly. This is wise advice in a world that can be just the opposite: flare up the temper, vomit the verbal output, and, sorry, what were you saying? While hotheaded and loose-mouthed reactions can be signs of uncaring attitudes, the skill of listening to others shows a heart that cares for people. Listening
to someone shows a person they are valued, important, and worth the time.
This could simply be life changing.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, let my words be few and my ears be wide open. Amen.
