    Amen Listening and understand are really huge tools I need to be using in this life of mine. Frustration and anger are too common in my life because I’m so quick to act instead of just listening and trying to understand. Thank you God for your awesome GRACE =)

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
