[Sometimes when we are able to share who we are, it allows others to share who they are. There is something to be said about transparency and how much you share and to whom you share. You should listen to people to determine how willing they are to share their “wounds”. If they are not willing to open up about their situation, then it probably is best not to share too much because it will not benefit their situation. The purpose of sharing is to strengthen and to encourage. It is not to divulge information that could be harmful to you or the person to whom you are sharing.
Nevertheless, one of the most valuable “tools” you can have is a listening ear. A lot of the time people just want to talk and to be heard. We have a lot going on inside and if we can share with someone we trust and get it out, then it usually makes it better. I did not say that it solves the problem. It just makes the burden a little lighter for the one who is carrying the cares of this world and the troubles of this life.]
