Dear Friends,
I find that most people just want to be listened to. Sometimes folks get frustrated, angry and upset, but what they really want and need is to be validated and listened to. Even if the situation is out of any one’s control, folks just need to vent sometimes. As Christians, we are called to be Holy Listeners. You will have opportunities today, in person, on the phone, at work or at home, to be a Holy Listener. What a privilege! Don’t go it alone. Read below so that you are equipped to be the mouth and ears of God! Love, Scott

Learn To Listen To Me even while you are listening to other people. As they open their souls to your scrutiny, you are on holy ground. You need the help of My Spirit to respond appropriately. Ask Him to think through you, live through you, love through you. My own Being is alive within you in the Person of the Holy Spirit. If you respond to others’ needs through your unaided thought processes, you offer them dry crumbs. My streams of living water flow through you to other people. Be a channel of My Love, Joy, and Peace by listening to Me as you listen to others.
Exodus 3:5 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
1 Corinthians 6:19 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.
John 7:38-39 38Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” 39By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
