What do you see?


What do you see when you look at someone? What is it that made you look at them in the first place? What was it about the person that drew your attention? Where they tall or short. Where they fat or skinny. Where they male or female. Where they a different race. Why do you even notice anyone? It’s funny, I listen before I look. I listen to what is going on around me. I find it more interesting than looking at people. Art Linkletter had a TV show called, Kids say the darndest things. If you listen to people, you will hear almost anything. But what I am listening for is something very special. I am listening to hear their heart speak. If you actually listen to someone, they will tell you who they are within minutes of talking to them. Because if you listen, their heart will speak clearly about what is in it. Do you ever get frustrated with people who will not listen to you? I tell you a truth, many times it isn’t they don’t listen, it is that the pain in their heart is great. And what you are saying is magnifying it. Everyone has a heart. And that heart is fill with their life and experiences. Sometimes it is good, but not always. Try an experiment, when you are talking to someone, close your eyes and listen to what is being said. You will be amazed what you hear, ever out of your own mouth. Then you will actually be able to see who that person is.
