Kindred,
Listen.
What do hear?
Noise?
Good listeners actually hear.
They listen and actually hear the voice of the person or persons speaking and consider the feelings and ideas behind the words (not one's own agenda and selfish desires perceived through eyes of selfish desires, jealousy or power trips).
If you do not know how to listen, how are you to listen to the Lord or to the wise?
How are you to make considered decisions or good judgement calls, if voices of reason or the wise, are not considered?
How are you to follow the Holy Spirit if you do not listen for It?
