"Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language." -- Acts 2:5-6

It should seem no miracle today for people of different languages to communicate the language of God to one another.  The language barrier we may have with people of different cultures and nationalities cannot hold when we express to others the essence and nature of God.  Like music, which is understood by people of different countries, love is also understood by those who speak different languages.  While it would be nice to learn different languages-- and we should-- we don't have to wait to speak them before communicating God's love to the world.  Our job first and foremost is to love.  By this they will know that we are his disciples.

Readings:  2 Samuel 22:21-23:23; Acts 2:1-47; Psalm 122:1-9; Proverbs 16:19-20
