Shut Up and Listen!

I hate people who try to comfort me with their shallow attempts at wisdom. They have nothing for me but empty words from their minds, but nothing that comes from the heart of God. Human agreements and pathetic human desires for the a perfect world makes me sick and more depressed then when I started! How do you know that this is not what God has called me to do? Have you been seeking God’s heart in my favor for a while now? This is what God has been showing me, so listen to what I have to say before you spit on it, cause this just might be the will of God in my life. So get out of my face with your simple words, cause if you don’t have anything from God to say then you are tearing me down cause you are not listening. Hurting people just want someone to listen to them, not someone to talk about themselves or what they need to change in their lives. Yes, there is a time for someone to help someone with telling them that they have this flaw that is causing this problem, but first they just need to let the crap come out before the wound can finally be ready for healing! So shut up and listen, and if you can’t listen then leave me alone!

I wrote that blog when I was in an angry state of mind, the content being good but the presentation was not accepted by all like I wanted it to. The point of this blog was not to offend, but to make you think about what you say when you try and comfort someone. So many times I have had people come to me when I am in need of someone to talk to, but I am not ready for words, or even when I am ready for someone’s advice they give this sweet, everything is going to be perfect answer… The point I am trying to make is this, when a person talks with someone the best thing to do is listen. People need to be heard, but so many times when they are pouring out their hearts the “listener” chimes in and gives a sweet, everything is going to be ok answer, but in reality the person just needs someone to listen to them. The other part is that when they are ready for the other person to talk, that person just talks and doesn’t say anything that is worth while. The point I am trying to make is simple this, when someone needs to talk, listen (that doesn’t mean a dialog but a monolog). The second is this when the person is ready for someone else input they shouldn’t give it, but rather ask God to give them the words that the person needs to hear, not wants to hear, needs (Ephesians 4:29).
