VALUE!

Others value true listening---not just waiting so they can jump in with their opinion or story.
Put on your listening ears, as your kindergarten teacher probably taught you. 
Pay Attention! 
Listen with grace-laced ears and heart. Value others more than self!

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, (emphasis mine) not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

True VALUE---put others first. 
How do I know? "The Bible told me so."
