In Psalm 81:13a the Lord makes this plea: “If only my people would listen to me.”
So how do we know when we’re listening to Jesus? Let me offer this simple checklist.

When you pray for others, you’re listening.
When you are patient with others, you’re listening.
When you are kind towards others, you’re listening.
When you are honest with others, you’re listening.
When you forgive others, you’re listening.
When you return good for evil, you’re listening.
When you encourage others, you’re listening.
When you are happy with others when things go well for them, you’re listening.
When you share their griefs, you’re listening.
When you comfort them, you’re listening.
When you give others undivided attention, you’re listening.
When your words and ways are gentle, you’re listening.
When you seek to honor others above yourself, you’re listening.
When you are good-natured in spite of idiosyncrasies or mannerisms you don’t like in others, you’re listening.
When you are compassionate and understanding when others fail, you’re listening.
