Biblical Proof You Never Should Tell People What You're Up To (some things should be secret)

- This is why Christians shouldn't tell everyone what they are to with the Lord and should keep their secret prayer life private with the Lord so that God can reward them for honouring Him.

Could you cover how to handle others who take the lies as truth with zero effort to hear from the other side? It is not the liar but the followers of the liar that I struggle to understand.

I am still struggling with keeping quiet. Thank you for the message.
Thanks Brother 👍
Lord help me keep my mouth shut!! Seriously.
AMEN AMEN AMEN ❤ AMEN
LORD help me to
And me! God forgive me and help me to have a holy mouth.
Amen🙏
Amen!
Me too, amen.
Lord, please help me to be quiet and wise and be able to keep my mouth shut and accomplish all my life’s dreams without any distractions and anyone apart from my family not knowing about my work until one day they see the fruits of my labour and dedication 🙏
Distractions have been working overtime in recent weeks. 🙏
Complaining is a big one for me. I say, "I'm tired," so often that it just almost slips out of my mouth every time I open it. Complaining about my stress or how much I have to do, how much money I have to spend, how much money I don't have, stress about the future - we tend to just focus on all the negatives in life, anxious people like me. I want to stop this and focus on all my blessings and how God has given me an able body that may hurt at times, but is still fully functional and able to do His work!
I have a friend who likes to complain, she says it makes her happy! How does it make you feel? When I told her I used her as an example, she complains less!
Amen. I have gotten a little better, but still have a long way to go. God help me!
me too!
Be careful ful of the energy drainers users that can pray to the Lord for decernment
Me too sister (complaining and saying I’m tired so often almost as a reflex) let’s do better ❤
From Brisbane, Australia. I’m an oversharer as a symptom of insecurity- but really, my security should be fully found in Jesus, and only his approval should I seek.
Ditto ❤
Thank you for sharing. Also deal with this too.
How patient God is with us 'wafflers' haha. He is so good.
I overshare sometimes because I feel lonely. I usually don't talk much just because I'm an introvert, not because I'm a good Christian.
If any brothers and sisters would like to please pray for me I’m dealing with a lot of back pain for some time now. In Jesus name thankyou Amen
🙏 Heavenly Father, I lift up my sister, Jessica, to you. I pray for healing of her back, Lord. You know what is wrong, whether it be the muscles, nerves, discs... whatever it is, Lord, that's causing her pain, I ask you to fix it right now in Jesus name! Make her back new and strong and healthy and normal, in Jesus name. You are the Lord who heals! By your stripes, Jessica is healed! Amen!
Thank you, Jesus! ❤😇
Watching in the USA specifically Detroit, Michigan
Dear Jessica,
I pray for Jesus to stop your back pain. Amen
I had low back surgery 2 years ago that did not help much. I use ice and found QEStrong pain cards which work wonders. They are embedded with prayer and work to change the signal in our brains. They even help dogs and cats when a patch is put on their tags.
(ARK) is a discount code.
I love you in Christ. Hugs from northern California.
🙏🙏🙏❤
Praying for you dear sister. I can empathize with you as I've been struggling with this myself here recently.
May God richly bless Joe Kirby, his beautiful wife, their children and all who are reading this message. Praise be the most high!
Thank you, God bless you too 🙏🏼
God Bless You Also….Thank You❤️🙏🏻💯
Amen and thank you.
Amen 🙏 ❤
He teaches saved by works not grace
There is a season and place for everything. A time to show your feelings and a time to hold them back. A time to be light hearted and a time to be serious. A time to speak and a time to reflect. May the Lord help each of us discern which season He has us in.
Yes! 🙌🏼
Yes
Ecclesiastes 3:1!!!🤍that verse holds a special place in my heart
Amen honey!!
I learnt hard way. I was surrounded with jealous so called friends. Never again.
Me too...

Not being the brightest bulb on the chandelier myself, one of those things I'm grateful to God for is that God loves fools too.
2 Samuel 16:5-10 KJV
[5] And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came. [6] And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. [7] And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial: [8] The Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the Lord hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man. [9] Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head. [10] And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou2 Samuel 16:10-13 KJV
Wherefore hast thou done so? [11] And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it ? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath bidden him. [12] It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction, and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day.

Ya I’m low IQ, serf class
I love this comment 😂
I always tell people too much about myself. This was a perfect study to talk about . We need to be still and let God handle it. Thank you
You are not the only one, ditto,
And He will handle it. We really suffer when we talk too much. But when we let god handle it we feel good. He brings comfort in our silence.
Me too. Then they want to give their advice. I need to learn to let God handle everything.
It’s a social anxiety response. I do the same and then beat myself up for days after. I don’t go anywhere because I don’t want to do it anymore .
Having dealt with social anxiety for most of my life, I assure you it's an absolute nightmare. I totally understand the part where you replay conversations and your responses to situations over and over long after they ended
If you tell people your plans or your successes they are jealous, and if you tell them your failures or sorrow, they gossip about it to others. My wife and I tell nobody nothing!
You need faithful people you can trust, even if only a very few of them.
Perfect!!!! When i get married, ill make sure my husband and i are reserved!! Its the wisest thing to do. I never share my failures only with family. I used to share my success with some friends but a large female friend of mine started to downplay my success and try to compete with me😮 . It was pathetic. i ended that friendship. Bye fatty!
I am a Grandmother of 7 grandchildren, from 2 to 18 yrs. In our family gatherings I watch how they some time cut each other down and i can see the hurt they try to hide. I had family meeting and talked about some scripture you mentioned on this video. This was Saturday; today (following Friday) your video was confirmation of what I shared with them. I shared your video with them.Thank you.
Great IDEA
What people think of us is none of our business. What we know about ourselves is what matters. Only one knows your heart. Honor Him in all things🙏🏾🤗❤️
I love that!!!! What "people think of us is none of our business"
Yup.
This idea is present in psychology, called "the separation of tasks."
That is, their opinions and beliefs, *even about me* , are *their business* to handle.
It's not my business, and certainly not my business to correct.
I am a 71 year old woman from Ohio. Love your humility and kindness and sensitivity and honesty!!! I can be guilty of running my mouth and it’s not honoring God. Thank you for your scriptures. A really Godly friend said one thing she was taught was: make sure you can say “In the name of Jesus. Amen” when you’re done speaking or writing something. It will serve as a great reminder of the content of your words. I try to remember that bit of advice!! Love you! God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing this advice. I will try to remember it. God bless you and your family. I love you in Christ. Hugs
"In the name of Jesus, amen" Yes of course, how freeing and sensible is that advice - very! Thank you❤ for sharing that with us.
Haha us women are like that aren't we
Ooohh good tip! Thank you ❤️🇨🇦
I’m also a 71 year old woman from Ohio and ty for reminding people to say this at the end of every prayer.
What I like most about you Joe is your total transparency and self-honesty. I admire that kind of humility. I am an older woman here in USA. I accepted Christ as my Savior in my late 20's. Since then, I have had such a journey! I am what I call a Truth Student. I've researched many things and have had an open mind, making sure what I believed in was The truth. I've gone off my path numerous times, but in every instance, the Lord only allowed me to go so far, and then picked me up and put me back on my Path. I have read through the Bible several times since becoming a believer, but it wasn't until recently, about 4 years ago, that I started to not just read the Bible, but am actually studying the Scripture! Wow! What an effect that has made on my spiritual growth!!! One thing stands out that I heard this past year was Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". Anyway, please continue making these videos and encouraging others. God bless you, Joe Kirby
In this wicked and perverse world that assaults our spirits daily with the most profane, ungodly philosophies, we could never get too much of God's word, Joe!
As we say in Jamaica “Empty Barrel makes the most noise”
Perfect!
Joe! My company has us pick out our own Christmas gift each year. I picked out your book and a Bible and was chuffed that my secular company bought and paid for good, holy material…thanks be to God. And thanks to you, dear brother Joe, for all you do for Him (and us).
Wow that is incredible! Thank you so much for choosing my book that blesses me so much Mhari! God bless you - Joe
@@offthekirbministries didn’t know that you had a book ! I’ve only recently come across your channel. The coffee channel is refreshing and the openness is very much appreciated. You come across as a genuine brother complete with flaws and no agenda to hide them 😂. Seriously I look forward to metaphorically walking with you as many of our day to day struggles are common to us all and we can all benefit when we are genuine and open. Thanks for your efforts and co-operation with the Lord

You chose gifts that keeps on giving ❤
I recently learned that when somebody is hurting even if I can't feel their pain just don't say anything. Just be there even for a long time
A good prayer: Holy spirit, guard my tongue from saying anything against you will for my life.
Say that, and God will help us.
Joe, remember this. "Other people's thoughts are not my concern"
That doesn't mean peoples opinions about you are not valid
Always listen to constructive criticism
My daddy was a minister and he always said “an empty wagon makes the most noise “. I can’t envision you being a troublemaker. You have such a gentle sweet spirit. God is definitely doing His work in you! We love you Joe and can’t wait to meet you in heaven! ❤️
An empty wagon pretty much describes me! For years, just couldn’t keep my mouth shut but never produced anything of value, except three great kids, but that was in adulthood and God gave me so much grace and blessings with my kids. After years of stress due to narcissism, rocky relationships, ups and downs, l am now very crippled up and not making much noise. Its kind of nice to be a broken wagon instead of a rattling one. Tks for that illustration. Its very apropos.
..... Or "Silent Water Runs Deep"
Absolutely agreed!!
@@encouragingword1172
You are pretty much describing me at this point in my life. So grateful the good Lord is such an amazing Father that He chastises His children so that we can learn from our rebellious ways and make it right with Him before it’s too late, even if the lessons are painful. God bless you.
Hi from the UK, I’m an ex loud mouth who spoke to much to many people until God did to me what he did to you. Shut me up! Best lesson ever… move in silence. ❤
I've read the Book of Proverbs countless times and every time is like receiving a proper BEATING 😅👍🏼
I'm the dumb one that's mentioned there, always choosing the wrong path and suffering all of the consequences that also are mentioned there.
Praying for God to bless me with wisdom, for it to not just be head knowledge but to put them all into action until they become 2nd nature habits.
I wish the sane for every follower of Christ that reads this comment as well 🙏🏼
It's amazing how God transforms us from our younger years. I feel I have broken most of the ten commandments. I look back at myself with shame as I thought I was a good person. Now I pray a lot and ask Jesus' permission as much as I can. It's hard to be human. Thank God for Jesus. Without him, we would all fail.
Your recognition of your flaws is refreshing to read. It amazes me how the Lord brings a sweetness with our brokenness. Only our Lord separates conviction from condemnation. What a loving Father we have
I've become much much worse off than in my younger years. In fact, even God has abandoned me since my youth. I've called out to him countless times but he's essentially given me the finger. Made me very very bitter toward him but I'm still a Christian. Just a bitter Christian.
@@jpjp9111 Heb 13:5 is one of the scriptures that confirms that the Lord will never leave you or forsake you. We may have different interpretations of the word “Christian “. I assume that a Christian believes in the inerrancy of the bible, as it is Gods word. Perhaps your struggle is with doubt and not the Lord. I think that most of us have a tendency to doubt some things. Thinking that God has abandoned you though is seriously damaging to your self and I imagine that it’s a hopeless state to be in. To be honest you’re post sounds illogical and it would be unfair for anyone to try and help using a forum like this. Perhaps you could find a pastor who could speak face to face with you
I ' m.from.the Philippines..I regulary listen to you.bro. Joe .Kirby.
@@jpjp9111 So sad to hear and I’m very sad to hear about your sorrows. But remember that the Almighty God (while molding us or fashioning us in His image) is all-knowing and all-seeing and all-loving. As our Heavenly Father asks us to trust Him, He also tells us that “...His ways are not our ways...” and I believe that’s what helps us understand that we are not a part of this world spiritually, we simply inhabit this world physically. God requires that we trust in Him. He wants us to simply love him and follow His Commandments. Although His way may be very understandable in some aspects, just about every biblical figure has had struggles understanding other aspects. I believe all Christians, while in this world, have had and will continue having struggles - BUT, we also have victory in Christ. Above all else, lean not on your understanding of the Creator-lean on your love for the Creator because He IS washing away the old you. So long as you’re sorry (for past sins), you’ve repented (turned away from your past sins), and you trust in Jesus (in the salvation of the Christ as described in Scripture).
The picture is my great grandson. I am 75 and live in a small town in California. My husband passed away a few years back, and I now live with my daughter, grand daughter and great grandchildren. I have learned over the years to talk to my Father in heaven when I have a problem. It is difficult not to talk about issues, especially family issues with them. Jesus is the only one who understands and strengthens me. God bless you Joe, you have no idea how much you have helped me over the years to understand God better.
Same here
I'm from Canada. I've been a Christian for 7 years and haven't looked back. I love England, my father is British.
I'm from the UK and I have visited Canada to see family.. i went to Toronto .. Niagara falls and C.N tower it's a gorgeous country with the best people ❤x

Social media is my downfall, specially CZcams where it’s anonymous. I often find myself giving judgemental opinions that i wouldn’t normally share or even think in real life. I find I’m much more empathetic in person, but social media brings out the worst in me. It’s like it bypasses the filter in my conscience and I don’t get the little voice in my head telling me not to say things impulsively without thinking
Bible verses are fine. Ineed all the Word i can have to transform my life. Thank you Joe Kirby.
Norway and no I am not a Viking😂 I am a Christian and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior😀♥️🙏🙏
“no I’m not a Viking”?? 😂😂
Personally, I've been trying really hard to keep quiet the last few weeks. Telling most people almost everything about myself has come back against me a few times. Lashing out in anger has been a bad habit, which does not glorify God. Gods timing is perfect for this message to be presented throughout these struggling times. Thanks, Joe, for the message.
I understand David. Prayers for you in you journey. Hard to be still and listen isn't it?
I soooo understand. I relate annd understand.
I'm having the same issue, I say too much and I am having to learn this lesson the hard way unfortunately.
Me too. I need to shut up more often. It seems like i'm too quick to talk about my personal life and get angry at feeling rejected by others. This stems from being bullied by others growing up. My thought is because I tried so hard to be accepted by my classmates and family when i was growing up, i reveal too much so i can be accepted. I'm praying that God heals me of these hurts so I can learn to be slow to speak and quick to listen. I'm 59 now and I don't want to live with this hurt any longer. Loving the Lord has been the most important thing to happen to me and I want to feel whole without the approval of others. Can you pray for me to learn how to bite my tongue and stop telling others my personal life.
God bless you all. 🙏🙇♀️🙌✝️🪻⚘️🕊
@@tanastoiberg7981 hahahahahah, you sound like my twin xxxxxxxx
Telling people about your plans, what you are about to do. Sometimes, you end up not doing anything. Better to work in silence, sometimes.
Oh dear Joe, you are so genuine just by being yourself. Just know that the Holy Spirit is working through you.
God bless you & your family abundantly wt good health & happiness. ❤
I have a little book of proverbs from my childhood. One says, “If our lips would keep from slips, five things observe with care: of whom we speak, to whom we speak and how and when and where.”
There is no one with me where I am. I have no one to talk to. God has separated me from my older life… figuring out what to do. THANKS JOE. I hope I have friends like this hereafter.
I have only one Christian mate since leaving my old life behind. Though they live 2 hours away from me. But, I'm also not ready to commit to friendships yet as I'm working through a healthier lifestyle and have debilitating social anxiety. But, when I am ready to start making friends when I move. A great idea is to take up some classes. Like joining an art group, sport, sewing, etc... of course making new friends at a new church. I hope, God, will put in place the right people in your life that you'll make long lasting true godly solid friendships.
Remember even if you don’t have many friends here, take heart! Heaven will be full of them.
If you’re not in church, start going and look into the Exodus 90 program.
I’m not into Catholicism but the exodus 90 program seems like it might be a good place to meet new likeminded brothers.
You're my friend in Christ!
Everyone please pray for the devil to be removed from me forever & to never return. It would mean the world to me if the devil is removed from me forever and never comes back. I hate the devil. I love Jesus!
I rebuke the demons surrounding you.
Resist him (the devil )firm in your FAITH and he will flee - that is a promise from God.
However, we will be battling the enemy and our flesh til the day Jesus takes us home… so I pray for perseverance for you Samantha
I feel uour struggle. For the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
🙏Allow Jesus to help you - we are not strong on our own "Jesus, please take care of everything!".
SUBMIT yourselves therefore TO GOD. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.- James 4:7
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Ephesians 6:10-17
Yes Joe I’m quite isolated too. I only really see humans on Sunday,,, or have to go to the store. I find I’m
Less and less able to carry a conversation. Worship flows,, yes but suspicion of hurtful people, maybe prevents me from opening myself.even to other Christian’s. Some are gossipy. My dearest friend, passed away now,, said slanderous things. I found later. I forgive her,, it was her way of gaining attention. Still
It has closed me up. 😢
I resonates with you...May God heal us and help us not miss out Divine duty due to hurtful experience from very chur h/believers.
May also know when to speak or when to be silent
It is difficult to know how to speak appropriately to people. We need daily to pray for the LORD's guidance. When I say too little, people tend to label me as unfriendly or "stuck up." But it is too easy to say the wrong things to those few people I feel comfortable with.
YUP. Can't win.
This is my plight as well. Ive come to recently just listen when people want to talk to me and try to give a caring response but leave it there. And the rest of the time, smile a lot. I wish I knew this when I was younger and it would have helped me. I have a major "rbf". But people love love love smiles. I started by forcing myself. I knew it was fake but I did it anyway and when I noticed I wasn't smiling very much then I immediately started smiling really happy like because it somehow makes people feel really good around you. I used to dislike it when people seemed fake, well I still do, but I view smiling differently. Smiling is letting people know that you are happy to be there/here, even if its a forced smile, just putting in the effort means something. Its that simple! Now I try to smile every chance I can get in public and it's good for my face muscles. 😅
So good. I'm from Texas and I've played the fool many, many times in my 70 years. Every verse you mentioned has been played out in my life, and it's very humbling. One other verse I think about is "Don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." Jesus really raises the bar, doesn't He? My only hope is in Jesus.
I needed to hear this! Thank you & God bless you🙏🙏🙏
That's exactly the verse this makes me think of.
Hey Joe! Southern Brazil here! Your message had traveled far far away 😊 I love British accent (working as an English teacher here and recently converted). Thank you very much for this video. I have remained silent but here in Brazil people hate it, looks like we are being not too engaged or hiding something. And now, going through the same thing here at work, having a person badmouthing behind people's back, and I'm the perfect target, cause I know what is going on in the company culture here, it's so interesting... We don't need to say a word, just don't engage and we are perceived as a threaten... Well, my feeling used to be: "I definitely was born in the world country" used to be my thoughts before my conversion. Now, I need to trust that God knows everything, not me. Thank you again for putting your message on the internet! 🙏🏽

There can never be too many Bible verses - they’re wonderful to include, because they back up what’s being said.
Edit: Watching from Queensland, Australia.
I am in Fresno California USA.
The GOD has been teaching me this for about a year and a half now.
There's never too many Bible verses in anything. It is the 'code' behind all life. We are always blessed by draping over our hearts and minds.
I'm in GA, 20 miles west of Atlanta at 10:10 a.m. I'm having some tea along with you. I have a tendency to tell my life story to anyone who will listen. When I was in the 4th grade a school counselor told me to be bold and speak my mind and tell others what is going on in my life. She told me that I am a very inspiring young lady and others deserve to hear what I have to say. (Side note: I'm hard of hearing, and all my life, people immediately judge me as not being very smart). I have such a hungry desire to share God's word with others. I'm sitting here today outside of a local church. My job is my ministry. I work with special needs adults. My special friend is attending vbs.
My daily devotions, currently, am reading through Book of Psalm, and I read Proverbs that correlates to the day of the month. Today is the 11th, so, I read Proverbs 11.
Joe, I enjoy listening to you because you are so at ease in your presentation. You seem to be so transparent, too.Have a blessed day. 😊
One day I'd like to have early morning devotion time with my Lord, reading through the Old Testament, lunch with my Savior and read through the Gospels, and evening at bedtime, read through the books of the New Testament. But, right now, I am doing well.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 Build each other up, under God, not praise or worship one another.
21:10 no no Brother Joe, I'm learning alot through these sit down peaceful, thought provoking videos, you can give as much Scripture references as you want, we NEED THE WORD ! 😊
Stayed for the secret at the end. ;)
I really enjoy these videos too -- and I enjoy the small silences as you're sipping your coffee, making your coffee, etc.
It's nice to have those small seconds of realistic quiet. ❤
I needed to hear this ! I am by no means a stupid person but my life has always been an open book ! Ive always been an up front honest person but ive discovered there are those who would take advantage of your sincerety and use your own words to hurt you ! I've since withdrawn my openess not because i dont want to share but because satan is running this world and i need to protect myself !

HOLY SPIRIT used your video to call me to a place of REPENTANCE, on a deeper level! GOD RICHLY BLESS you & your family AND MINISTRY💕👵🙏🏻
This is another evidence of how much you've come along with Christ. These videos are serving a discipling role. We all need this. This woke me up to so many things that I'd been having internal hints about, but couldn't name them. Now I see. Thank you, Joe.

After recently coming across the following quote, I stopped commenting when someone said something I believed was wrong, and I've stopped talking about my thoughts to others. The resulting peace is wonderful!
I made it a rule to forbear all direct contradiction to the sentiments of others, and all positive assertion of my own.

I’m from India dear Joe. My Mother has always told me to talk less, instead go into a room, shut the door and talk to God

From Harrogate, North Yorkshire UK- thanks for this video. This definitely struck a chord with me!
Also a reason to keep quiet even with your spouse is when a wonderful private moment happens between you and the Lord. Not always but sometimes.

I pray and declare 100% healing over your ankle in the name of Jesus! Thank you Lord for 100% blood flow and circulation to the bone, and full function! Thank you for sharing your story today! So good!
I find myself over talking when I'm nervous or awkward. Thank you for the encouragement to keep it quiet. I will work on that.
Please pray for me brothers and sisters, I'm struggling with sin...
May The Lord GOD hear your prayers!
Amen 🙏
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Yes John I will pray for you and your brother and sister.

Praying for you, and all of us 🙏
I’m totally like that. Been my problem all my life. I’m 57 years old and have just learned to keep my big mouth shut. People use words against you and can twist things you say. I’ve been a fool all my life. But I don’t gossip or slander people. I just share too much information about myself. I now leave it to God to fight my battles for me. I’ve give up on this life as I always seem to mess up.Now Im leaving it to God to take over and sort my life out. By the way I don’t fast, is that a sin in Gods eyes ? I have always believed in God and loved him but I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing!!!!

I’m guilty of the same wrong words and actions a number of times. Thank you for this talk I really enjoyed it and the Lord that conflict me off certain things. We are accountable of our words and actions before the Lord 24:50
Silence is sweet like honey. Now a days we don't find people who want to hear some one.A listining ear a understanding heart is very rare.Thankyou for the message.
