1 Corinthians 13:1 NLT
[1] If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Life in cosmopolitan towns means its a melting pot of many cultures, many languages. Kenya attracts multitudes from across the globe, leave alone it's own vast diversity.
It's exciting sitting in a restaurant or watching in the streets the vast diversity in it's beauty.
And in it all we are all the same.
They say even the deaf can 'hear' love. The blind can 'see' love. Love is a language on its own . The universal language all peoples of the globe know. It is hard to misread. To misinterprete.
We may know 6 exotic languages of the world fluently
But are our words filled with love?
We may speak in tongues
But are we speaking lies division malice and slander?
Lord forgive us for using our tongues unwisely
May peoples (mine included ) eyes and mouths not fly open when one cannot speak their mother tongue or English fluently because they are learning to speak the language of love.
The language to bless and not to curse, to encourage not to discourage. To speak the Word of God (the truth). To pray for others. Sometimes not to speak at all. The language of life and not death.
The language of love.
Maybe that's the most important language we should be speaking and teaching our children?
