In the course of daily living, we want to exemplify the Father's love and care. Two of these qualities are being a good listener and speaking words that edify.
James 1:19 AMP
"Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving];
In this journey with God sometimes we veer off the path and into the ways of our own strength and opinions. It is certainly possible then, that we may say and do things that are not the best. Fortunately, God has given us the means, by way of doctrine, reproof and correction that will keep us on track to get back to the place of being our best for Him. Isn't is wonderful that when we fall short we have unlimited opportunities to get back up and recognize the shortcoming, reset and then make the necessary corrections to move forward?
