Whatever troubles you are having or will have, we must remember Jesus knows our pain because He suffered just as we do and worse. We need to remind ourselves that all of this pain, suffering, sorrow, violence, injustice, and unrighteous behavior will come to an end when we reach Glory or Jesus returns.
Are you hearing or are you listening? There is a difference. Less talk and more listening leads to more effective communication. Yadda, yadda, yadda is often what we hear but if we actually listened, we'd be better suited to respond. Distractions from our own thoughts is probably the biggest deterrent to listening.
Is the world louder than His whispers to you?
