1 - READ THE WORD
No translation needed
“There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning; 11 but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.”
1 Corinthians 14:10-11

2 - Reflect
If we ever travel on vacation or work in a country where our own language is not spoken, we may be concerned about how that experience may end. If we will be able to communicate through hand signals or what others will do to understand our requests. We try to learn some last minute words to be able to cope with the difference, we ask acquaintances if they have had any problem making themselves understood. But what we do not realize is that God's language is universal.
Therefore, if we are kind and ask for what we need with courtesy, surely the inhabitants of that place will understand us. When we communicate openly and in a respectful way our brothers will respond, regardless of what place we may find ourselves in the world. We can even take it further and learn how they live by the Word of God in their regions, how their churches are inside, their customs as Christians residing in another place. The reflection of what we are will know to be present in conversations in which we do not share the language. God has established a universal language among all His children, and that language is love. The more compassionate, caring, and loving we are amongst ourselves, the better we will understand each other.
