The key to any relationship is communication. Whether it is a marital relationship, parent-child, or work related. And while most people believe that talking is the most important part of communicating, I would be willing to bet that listening is twice as important. Why else would God give us one mouth and two ears.
Hearing can be defined as the simple act of recognizing that there is sound, talk, or noise in our presence and if focused upon could be identified and/or understood. However, the act and art of listening requires not only our ears but our heart. Listening requires us to be compassionate, intelligent, and aware of the needs of others. Which should cause us to spring into action to address that need; To be of service, after really listening to someone.
God commands us to present our bodies' as a sacrifice and that is our reasonable service. Be of service to someone today, listen with your heart, learn of someones need, and be a blessing today.
The silence isn't too "loud", your ears and heart just may be too "small"
