THE ACCENT OF MAN

I was thinking of how some people speak with accents. God speaks “God,” but we speak His words with the accent of men. In Uganda I sometimes could not understand their English, and I would have to ask them to repeat what they said, maybe even spell it. I would have had no trouble understanding if I had grown up with them, but I came from another place. I wonder, if when we speak the words of God and they are not correctly understood by others, is it because we have not grown up with God and we speak with the accent of men? Too much time may be spent listening to men or to ourselves and not enough time spent with God.
