Listen for the Silent Priories
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. (Colossians 4:5)

Gordon MacDonald said, "There are three things in my life that I need most, but they never scream for immediate attention: God, family, and my mind" (Source: Leadership, Vol. 5, no. 4.).

I personally find that the world screams loud and clear for my attention and my energy. I must be very careful to give my time and my energy to the things that count most. Time in the word to study, in prayer and with my family are often put off; but if I wish to be the servant I want to be, I must put what is silent but most important first. -Pastor Jim

Love this. I was the one who use to scream, do hissy fits, and jump up and down. I wanted that attention, it was about me first, with no concept of being at one with others and being open to others.

Let it begin with me! I can't have love, compassion, forgiveness, etc. if I don't have it within and only then can I truly share with others.
