Verses

The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
Proverbs 20:5
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.
James 1:19
 
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
Jeremiah 29:12
 
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9

Quotes

 
"Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.”
David W. Augsburger
 
"If I cannot listen to you, then I cannot listen to God. How can I listen to God if I’ve not learned to listen to myself or another? We need to place listening at the heart of Christian life and ministry. It lies at the heart of ministries of evangelism, of healing, of deliverance, and of discipleship. I move into the heart of God through listening to His people. Love always desires to communicate.”
Trevor Hudson
