swift to hear...slow to speak...slow to wrath...
James 1:19-20 says: "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."
This verse, I believe, is the basis of any relationship. If we follow these three principles of being slow to wrath, slow to speak, and slow to hear, our relationships with friends will be successful.
I learned that this week. I learned to watch my tongue of the things I say...listen to what people say and really think about and not get angered if I get offended at something.
