Caring hinges on how well we listen. We can’t blow it here! The answers to why it is difficult and why it is important are closely connected. Listening is difficult because it is hard for us to get out of the way. We tend to feel the need to be the center of attention and to get our point across. But effective caring is about the other person so we’ve got to get out of the way. Even God listens to us as Jesus is our intercessor. So, let’s get serious about listening because when we master listening, we will live and care in the best way.
