The listener..

...the boat was being swamped by the waves... they went and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us!"

Mt 8:23-24

We have our friends and family, still we do not tell them all the thoughts that weigh on our minds. We are afraid they may Judge us, start thinking about us in bad light, stop being in love or our friends.

But with Jesus, who lives in our hearts, we have no such fears, he listens, he cares, he consoles...he has showed us that with his own life many times over.
