Pick Up the Heavenly Accent
I had a friend who emigrated to England and after years of living with English people, he developed a British accent. I have another friend who is originally Nigerian but after years of living in the U.S. has developed an American accent. Both friends mentioned above could never have developed the accent they have by solitude. Over time, when you mix with people you begin to speak and act like them. This is why The Bible says in Hebrews 10:25 “And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near”. God did not send Jesus to die so we can be stand alone Christians. He wanted us to have a heavenly accent and the only way to have a heavenly accent is to spend time with those who follow The One who came down from heaven to show us the way-Jesus. Pick up the heavenly accent by regularly meeting with other believers.
