in our times of need

Instead of walking in pride, and telling someone about what we know, and what we went through that may be similar to what they are going through, walk in love, peace, and understanding by just giving our ear to listen, a body to hug, and a shoulder to cry on.
Once we get over yourself, and get away from our own self righteousness, the people that we choose to listen to and understand will undoubtedly start to pour more of themselves into us more and more each time we are able to connect.
Though there is a time to give advice, much of building relationships with people has to do with the way that we are just there for them in their times of true need!
When we take time out of our own life and give of ourself by just being there and giving our ear, or shoulder to lean on, you will in turn have someone to be there for us in our times of need as well.
