I am in a class that completely focuses on being a better Christian in the contemporary world...and I am reading Reaching Out by Henri Nouwan!
So my mind is blown a lot at this point....
So tonight, I am going to simply list the things that God has been teaching me...
- Every person on this planet is lonely, so no, you're not weird!
- One cannot take care of people if that loneliness dominates their actions. It has to be replaced with a sense of solitude in order for a person to be an effective minister.
- I am always in a hurry---even when I do not need to be...I should really slow down!
- Christians need to be much greater listeners than speakers!
- Christians should be more interested in listening than becoming offended so that they can freely enter into relationships!
- People Need People
More too come!
