00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:14,665
Speaker 1: Life Audio. From the Salvation Army, welcome to Heartbeat.

2
00:00:18,565 --> 00:00:21,645
Speaker 2: Think about the last disagreement you had with someone you love.

3
00:00:22,224 --> 00:00:25,235
Speaker 2: Maybe you walked away thinking, I can't believe they said that.

4
00:00:25,835 --> 00:00:29,135
Speaker 2: You replayed the conversation, convinced you knew exactly what they meant.

5
00:00:29,775 --> 00:00:30,235
Speaker 1: But did you?

6
00:00:31,235 --> 00:00:34,275
Speaker 2: Sometimes the The words that hurt us aren't actually what

7
00:00:34,315 --> 00:00:37,605
Speaker 2: the other person intended at all. And when we assume

8
00:00:37,644 --> 00:00:39,885
Speaker 2: we know their heart, we can end up fighting over

9
00:00:39,945 --> 00:00:41,955
Speaker 2: something that was never meant the way we heard it.

10
00:00:42,765 --> 00:00:45,965
Speaker 2: So before you defend yourself, ask, what did you mean

11
00:00:46,025 --> 00:00:49,805
Speaker 2: when you said that? James 1.19 says to be quick

12
00:00:49,865 --> 00:00:53,295
Speaker 2: to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.

13
00:00:54,135 --> 00:00:57,755
Speaker 2: Understanding someone doesn't mean you agree with them. But sometimes,

14
00:00:58,035 --> 00:01:01,935
Speaker 2: being willing to understand... is the first step towards reconciliation.

15
