Before we speak,
our hearts have already begun the conversation.
There is a language
that needs no translation.
It is spoken
through a gentle smile,
a patient embrace,
a tear quietly shared,
a hand reaching for another.
It is heard
in kindness freely given,
in forgiveness offered,
in compassion without condition,
and in love that asks for nothing in return.
Children understand this language.
So do the elderly.
The lonely.
The broken.
And those who have learned
that silence can sometimes
say more than words ever could.
The language of the heart
crosses every border.
It is not limited
by culture,
by age,
by education,
or by the words we know.
Its alphabet
is made of grace.
Its sentences
are written with mercy.
Its voice
is hope.
Perhaps this is the language
God has been teaching us
from the very beginning.
To love.
To listen.
To forgive.
To welcome.
To see one another
not through our differences,
but through the dignity
He has placed within every soul.
May our words
always begin in the heart.
For when they do,
they become a reflection
of the One
who first loved us.
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
— 1 Peter 4:8
