All You Need is Love Daily Devotional -1

1 CORINTHIANS 13:1 | 1If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Paul was multi-linguistic, speaking Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and probably Aramaic. Languages are very powerful. They are tools to grasp the world and vehicles to express emotion and convey knowledge. Language helps us form questions and know others. It influences perception and cognition, our seeing and our knowing. Language is a wonderful gift from God!

The deepest model describing the divine mission to humankind in Jesus? The Word became flesh and dwelt among us! God grasped human life and human language to address us.

Thank God for words!

Use five words to praise God today.
