Listening
The
first service one owes to others in the fellowship
consists in listening to them. Just as love of God begins
in listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for
the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's
love for us that He not only gives us His Word but
lends us His ear. So it is His work that we do for our
brother and sisters when we learn to listen to them.
