Why did God give me two ears and one mouth? So that I will hear more and talk less.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.
Maybe I wanted to hear it so badly that my ears betrayed my mind in order to secure my heart.
I've never heard God speak out loud to me. That's not an experience I have had.
It's good for the soul to hear yourself as others hear you, and next time maybe, just maybe, you will not talk so much, so loudly, so brilliantly, so charmingly, so utterly shamelessly foolishly.
Whenever I've encountered a Christian saying, 'Why don't you stop talking like that so I can hear you?' I think, 'Well you're the one putting the earmuffs on, but I wish you could hear me because I like you.'
God gave me the strength to see, and breathe, and talk.
Heaven finds an ear when sinners find a tongue.
God transforms, so to speak, this air into words, into various sounds. He makes you understand these various sounds through the modifications by which you are affected.
Since God knows our future, our personalities, and our capacity to listen, He isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.
God sendeth and giveth both mouth and meat.
