“Christians have forgotten that the ministry of listening has been committed to them by Him who is Himself the great listener and whose work they should share. We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "Life Together"
Jesus describes the Kingdom as a feast: a place where we're all seen and known. But life is full of disconnection and loneliness. Those moments aren't a taste of the Kingdom.
While we'll never be able to solve every problem, we can all be better listeners. And we can learn to do that with the simple techniques of active listening.
The ministry of listening is something we often overlook. But it's a simple way to make the Kingdom present for people and give them a taste of God's love.
