You Can't Talk People Out of Their Pain

"At that point they sat on the ground with him for seven days and evenings. Nobody said a word to Job, for they saw that his languishing was too incredible over words." Job 2:13

On the off chance that you're generally in a rush, at that point you're never going to be an extraordinary audience.

To have extraordinary discussions, you start by looking with adoration at the other individual, yet then you should contribute as much time varying. Why? Since you can't listen well in a rush. Incredible listening requires significant investment.

Job was a well off man who lost essentially everything, including his cash, wellbeing, and even his youngsters. "At the point when three of Job's companions knew about the misfortune he had endured, they got together and gone from their homes to solace and support him . . . At that point they sat on the ground with him for seven days and evenings. Nobody said a word to Job, for they saw that his languishing was too extraordinary over words" (Job 2:11, 13).

This is known as the service of essence. At the point when you're helping somebody in torment, you should recollect this: The more profound the torment, the less words you use. On the off chance that someone's having a messy hair day, at that point you can discuss it for 30 minutes. In any case, if that individual has a significant emergency, discussing it for quite a while is likely not going to help.

Many individuals don't have a clue how to help somebody who is in emergency. They don't have the foggiest idea what to state.

Those equivalent individuals will regularly avoid a companion since they're anxious about saying an inappropriate thing.

In all actuality you don't have to state anything. Simply appear and shut up. You can't work individuals out of their agony. Some agony is incredible. At the point when it's the opportune time, your stinging companion will say something. At the point when it's the correct time, at that point you'll have the option to state something as well.

This sort of speculation requires some investment. Notice how long Job's companions sat on the ground with him: seven. Do you have anyone in your life who'd sit on the ground with you for seven days without saying anything? That takes an exceptionally developed individual and a genuine companion.

On the off chance that you need to be that sort of companion, at that point you must be eager to forfeit so you can give individuals your affection, consideration, and presence—as much as they need.
