Once you’re in battle, the loving and Christlike technique to defuse the strain is to hunt to know earlier than looking for to be understood. Attempt to determine what the opposite individual is considering and saying earlier than you begin making an attempt to persuade them persuade them of your facet. You can not hope to be understood till you might be prepared to do the identical for others.
The Bible says, “An individual who solutions with out listening is silly and disgraceful” (Proverbs 18:13 ICB).
We are sometimes so busy making an attempt to get folks to see it our means that we don’t cease to take heed to what they’re saying.
That’s why it’s essential to say, “You go first.” After which, after they’ve shared, you say, “Now, let me see if I perceive.

Once you tackle the character of Christ, the need to know earlier than being understood turns into extra pure. Solely then can you’re employed via battle as you consider others earlier than your self.
