Do you have ears?
Spend enough time with someone — anyone — and eventually you will disagree with them.
At some point, we will witness the people in our lives making a mistake. That’s because there’s no perfect human being on this earth. So we all will “get it wrong” at some point. Some, more than others.
At some point, you will disagree with the people you love the most, respect the most, learn from the most, listen to the most, follow the most.
But you’re really ready for true growth, genuine faith — you’re really the most ready for God — when you come to that place in your own life when you realize you have gotten it wrong.
It’s when we finally understand, and then admit, that we’re wrong, we’re off track, we are “unright” that we are the best positioned to look to the One who has never been (nor will be) wrong.
Jesus sometimes said something like this, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” (Matthew 11:15).
When we care less about our opinions and more about the Truth, we will have ears to hear, then we can truly listen and understand.
