but all in all what i learn is this.

The Point of Listening Is Not What You Hear, but the Hearing Itself. ( this was what i found along with the pic when i googled for it )

and this

When You Listen You affirm.

truthfully. i don't think the pictures shows any link to the words that is being typed together with it hahaha!

but the point is there, the power of listening is really great. being able to listen is really one of the greatest ability one can have to bless people around them. when you just simply listen, there's a difference. and when you start to listen, you make a difference.

really want to encourage anyone whose reading this, if you think your not a very good listener, take some time to stop listen to what ppl around you talk you about before speaking=) im still learning as well=) jiayou! sometimes, listening simply helps and solves everything.=)

lastly end off with a quote.

your heart tells you what want, but may not be what you need.

but word of God tells you what you may not want, but definitely is what you need.

take your choice today, what you truly need or what you want. but regardless know that Jesus wants to be with you above all else, even if you make wrong choices. that's how accepting, graceful and great Jesus is. not the angry, petty and jealous God that you may think He is=)
