✦ MADE SIMPLE

When someone speaks in a language they've never learned, they're not talking to people — they're talking straight to God. Nobody around them gets what they're saying, but in their spirit, they're sharing deep mysteries with him.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Speaking in tongues is your spirit having a private conversation with God that goes beyond words.
