SO ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER WITH THESE WORDS
1 Thessalonians 4:12

Listening to God and allowing him to work on those that offend you

Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish. (Proverbs 18:13 NLT)

I know I do this often, only because I want to be right or be the first one to say something. However, when I allow my mouth speak before my Spirit, I tend to be in a worse off situation. God teach me  how to listen...truly listen....without always wanting to interject my thoughts and opinions. Help me respect the other person who is speaking. Although I might disagree or have my feelings hurt...help me understand they are on their own journey with you and you will give appropriate correction when needed.
