Listen - Don't Speak

James 1:19-20I was reading and in vs. 19 it says "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; vs. 20. For the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Sometimes we don't know how to be quiet like me. If you are someone who has the gift to be quiet and not say a word that is awesome. But as people we talk instead of listening. Like if we were trying to make a new friend we should be interested in what they have to say about their life instead of going on and on about ours. Or if you are talking to a person about Christ we should be listening like you know, see where they are at or what is going on in their life instead of trying to give the answers to everything and say you need to do this and that. No you need to be quiet because if you keep on talking you lose the person interest and then there is a wall. I heard this quote one time it said "You can win more friends with your ears than with your mouth."
