God, language, and us

CAROLYN F. RUFFIN

When it comes to the deeper questions in our lives, we don't want words to get in the way. We want to feel that we're understood right away, and that we, in turn, can understand.

That goes as much for our relationship to God as for our relationship with people. When we need healing or courage or hope, we want to feel that words don't get in the way of our understanding. You might say we want to feel that we and God speak the same language.
