The Language of God

After reading Acts 2:1-11 [describing Pentecost] with a group of 9-year olds, the catechist asked, "How could people from so many different places all understand the apostles?"
A young boy replied, "Because when you speak with God there is only one language, and they were all speaking the language of God."


What language does God speak? Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, German, tongues, ASL, etc. These are the typical adult answers which are concrete and observable. So how is it that a 9-year old kid has such profound insight into the Almighty God? Even in our highly technical world of play, perhaps kids’ hearts are less cluttered and can still hear God speak in their hearts.

God is speaking. He has signposts along our pathways.
Can you hear Him speaking? Do you know the language of God?
