Fantastic Friday #768 - Sensitive

Sensitive

Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to him: “Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips. Hosea 14:2

How receptive are you to people when they interact with you? Are you keen on what someone is trying to share? Being receptive and keen are just another way of being sensitive to others and their information they share. Being sensitive could mean that you are engaged in a conversation by only listening and feeling what is trying to be shared. How many of us have conversations that we are half listening to and then proceed to act like you completely understand what the other person is going through; although you really didn't listen well enough to know the real point of the conversation. We have to start being sensitive to others and their needs, and stop being so selfish with our own needs. If we are chasing God to forgive us, aren't you happy that He receives us graciously? Would you want Him to receive us half-heartedly or only partially listen to us? We need to listen to others how He listens to us, with a grace and sensitivity that allows us to truly develop the relationship. Start being sensitive, receptive, keen and gracious.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
