God gives us two ears and one mouth for a reason. Try to listen twice more than talk, and think before talk. Count 10 before replying. There is much room for improvement here for me.
Ear for listening
James 1:22 “Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice
Walk the talk
James 1:19 “Remember this, my dear friends! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry.”
Proverbs 18:13 “To answer before listening – that is folly and shame.”
Listen for knowledge and wisdom
Proverbs 19:27 “Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the word of knowledge.”
Luke 6:27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.”
