Hi friends – Several years ago I had the opportunity to travel to the country of Kyrgyzstan with my church. The purpose of this trip was to speak with the local church and present life skill seminars. This was a unique experience for me because I had to use a translator. This was a bit intimidating to say the least. I had to know my material well, adapt to a different audience, pace myself and get into a good rhythm with the translator. Although I was nervous I had great support and was covered in prayer before and during the church service. I am so thankful that the Lord gave me this experience.
I tell you this story because it reminds me of an important truth when it comes to our relationship with Jesus, our faith journey and times of prayer. Sure while I was speaking to the people in Kyrgyzstan I needed a translator because we did not speak the same language. When it comes to connecting and praying to God there is no translation required. He knows what you are going to say before you say it. He knows your heart and what is on your mind.
Nothing is ever lost in translation.
Until next time my friends, remember you known and loved by God. Blessings!
