Have you ever been introduced to someone, but you immediately forgot their name because you were too busy trying to think of what you were going to say? Sometimes, I think I spend too much time, trying to sound interesting, important or cool and not enough time engaged and interested in what other people have to say.
When Jessica and I first started dating, one of the things that I found the most attractive about her, was the fact that when we spoke, it didn’t seem like she was just waiting for her chance to speak. She was genuinely interested in me and what I had to say.
I want to work less on being interesting and more on being interested when I talk with the people God has put in my life.
