“Being heard is so close to being loved that most people cannot tell the difference.”

Good listening is a powerful but waning practice.

I loved these suggestions, from @blake_glosson, for how we might improve our listening and make others feel heard. https://t.co/qNsZWF3Rnx

How you respond to a sufferer can bring great healing or harm; it can alleviate his burden or add to it. https://t.co/vHLEyEstLH

[Blake Glosson @blake_glosson]

We usually can’t remove a sufferer’s pain. But by God’s grace, we can offer true relief in the midst of their pain.

Grateful to write again for @TGC.

[The Gospel Coalition @TGC]

How to respond when someone shares his or her pain? Be present. Listen. Weep. Encourage.

Simply astounding that God knows all the stars by name (Isaiah 40:26). He didn’t just create them. He *named* them.

This implies not just power, but care. And amazing creativity. Just think about how many unique names are floating around in the divine mind!

[Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund]

In Christ, our sins are truly forgiven. The crimson has been washed white as snow. Not jut theoretically, but actually--right now. Happy thought.

[Blake Glosson @blake_glosson]

@FleecedByGetz Apparently you can though?! 😅

[Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund]

When the pain of this life feels overwhelming, it is comforting to remember that future resurrection can heal and redeem all sorrow. In Christ our suffering will not merely end, but be turned to glory.

If Jesus Christ didn’t abandon you in his darkness, the ultimate darkness, why would he abandon you now, in yours?

Our weakness + Christ’s strength = perfect safety

Held in the hands of the Father and Son, our weakness poses no threat to our security.

Thank you, @daneortlund, for the encouraging sermon today on John 10.

[Dane Ortlund @daneortlund]

"All my springs [*mayan*] are in you" (Psalm 87:7).

mayan = fountain, spring of water; water source

Everything in my life that is life-giving, to me or others, all that nourishes and causes flourishing, all that creates inherently multiplying blessing and fullness, is in God.

[Dane Ortlund @daneortlund]

I’ve read in Plato sayings that are wise, but I've never read in one of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.

To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation. —@RCSproul

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

The Lord didn’t check who inside the house was worthy. He checked for blood on the doorposts.

None of us is worthy. Only the blood of Jesus can cover us.

[Andrew Wilson @AJWTheology]

Just noticed that @LigonDuncan believes in sprinkling and @PrestonSprinkle believes in dunking. 🤯

@NCCU_USEEIT08 @NCCU_MBB Okay cool, appreciate the update!
