There’s a saying that I heard that I think is true. It goes something like this, “It takes more wisdom to receive advice than it does to give it.”
It’s also true that free advice is worth the price you pay. Don’t ask for advice unless you’re willing to receive it.
And don’t ask advice from someone who you don’t trust, and don’t believe is mature in the Lord.
Let him who has ears to hear, let him hear. Only an open heart has an open mind. Only an open mind can let in new light.
Wisdom is silent most of the time.
