There are days when I am awed by how much I can understand and communicate in Spanish (not my native language). By God’s Spirit I find myself navigating conversations light years beyond my level of competency. But Saturday was not one of those days.
Confusion. Pure confusion. I spent over four hours with a new Jesus-follower sincerely trying to listen to what was on his heart, and I could not. Oh, it was so frustrating!!
Phil, being able to speak every language in the world has always been one of my responses to “if you could have 3 wishes what would they be”. I would much rather speak to our neighbors on one side of our building in their native Korean and with our neighbors on the other side of the building in their native Chinese!
I wonder what language(s) will be used for communication in heaven? In any case it will be fun to be able to fully communicate in a heart/soul language with folks that right now we are only communicating with using our rudimentary secondary language skills.
I’m just hoping that we don’t say “like,” “you know” and “basically” in heaven… in ANY language!
I bet the person you were talking to knew your HEART was listening – and God made the connection even if you feel you didn’t…
Doh!
