What Language Do You Speak?...

"They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world." ~Psalm 19:3-4

There is this old man that lives down the street from us. He is often sitting out on his front porch looking out at what is going on around him and smiling at those who drive by (including me). His face shines like you wouldn't believe and there is such sincerity behind his smile towards you that you feel the warmth and joy behind it. I don't know him personally. I don't know his background. I don't know his out look on life. I don't know what he believes from spoken words. But with the bright light he shines from within and the sparkle of joy in his eyes I know in my heart that Jesus lives in him. :-)

I read Psalm 19 yesterday and then drove by this old man today and saw him and couldn't help but think how he speaks those words and sends the message of hope and joy. My desire is to be that bright for Jesus and that illuminating. So when people drive by me or walk by me or talk with me know in their hearts that I am a child of God and Jesus lives and is deeply rooted in me.

I have always wanted to learn a different language, but this doesn't come naturally for me. However, to speak God's unspoken language, I believe it is in-bedded in all of us. All we have to do is ask and God will speak through us. I may have started to learn this language, but my desire is to speak it fluently, constantly, and consistently. I pray that for myself and all of you too.

So I ask you, what language do you speak?

Love Steph
