About this listen
. We are living in a world that is being saturatedwith information about so many issues, which makes it very difficult to have aconversation with other people and believe that you are understood in what youare trying to say. I have counseled somany youth who do not believe that their parents really understand what theyare trying to tell them about an issue that came up. They would tell me that they would try toexplain why they were feeling the way they did about the issues, but as theytalked, one or both parents would interrupt them and not let them finish whatthey were saying. So many times, whenthis would happen, the youth just stopped talking and then tuned out what theparent or parents were saying because they did not feel respected for theirviews. We have to learn how to listen tothe person talking with us so that they really believe that by our demeanors,we understand what they are saying to us. The chances of being misunderstood are very high today in marriages,with friends, extended families, and co-workers. Jesus knew this was the case in Histeachings, and that is why He said, “Whoever has ears, let him hear.” (Matthew11: 15 NIV). How well do you feelunderstood?
