Getting better

As an opinionated chap with, well, a lot of opinions and things to say, I am getting better at holding them and not overstating my case. Listening. More listening. Reflecting back on what others say. (Getting better, but I haven’t arrived!)

Yesterday, however, I sensed God’s Spirit telling me to shut up a couple times when I apparently thought what I had to say was important. (James 2:19) Thankful for our gracious church leaders and staff, and my wordiness weakness can be overlooked because of God’s grace displayed through one another.

People are more important than what I have to say, and I’m getting better at living in that reality.
