Beauty of languages
Posted 11-19-2007 at 08:23 AM by Raj
Languages are interesting. some time they may make you feel good other times you may have to feel bad for you don't know each of them.
Languages were a gift of God to humankind to save them from problems and ultimately from death(remember the event of tower of Babel). But these languages in Christ bring glory and honor to God(remember the disciples, praising God in different tounges) . It is so beautiful to see and hear word of God and the beautiful hymns in different languages.
All these languages will be a part of praising our God in heaven, as all the saints will be gathering together to sing Holy Holy Holy to the Lord!
What a majestic scene it will be to see different choirs singing in praise of our God.

A few days ago I learned that 'tite' means in Tagalog 'sister'. A Korean friend came to our campus and she said, "her name is Lee." So the Filipino friends began to call her, "titeLee".
When I heard this, I was amazed on the name, because when "tite+Lee put together, it becomes 'titeLee" and that means "butterfly" in Hindi!!!
Thank you Lord for making so many beautiful things in the world, one of them is language.
