One of the best way to restore broken relationships is by LISTENING! The question is do you listen to understand or to answer? Listening is a sign of humility and humility is not a sign of weakness. Let's talk as we explore listening and more principles. Philipians 2:3. Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves].
