Be Quick to Listen

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, — James 1:19 

James calls us his brothers and sisters.

We are brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

As such, we should be quick to listen.

That's not always easy, but it is what God calls us to do.

And to think before we speak.

Taking our time before responding.

Perhaps asking God the best way to respond.

And taking a deep breath or going for a walk instead of getting angry
