...we hear them telling
in our own tongues
the mighty works of God.
Acts 2. 11
(God uses our own words,
stories He has given us,
ordinary experiences we carry,
our native languages
and even accents,
so that others can hear
and understand the Truth
in a way that suddenly
makes sense to them.
We speak the gospel.
God translates
into the hearts
of those around us,
even those we would
never expect,
even those we didn't think
were listening).
O LORD,
You have strategically placed
us in all time and space
to bring the gospel here
in so many words.
Please help us
not just to put it into words,
but to emulate Your truth
by how we respond
to others even today.
Make the invisible visible.
Make Your glory audible.
May Your love seep through
every careless word.
We never know who is listening.
We never know
whose lives are being changed.
All redeemed in Your hands.
Every word.
