Peter was recognized as belonging to Jesus by the sound of his voice. In Matthew 26 the servant girl said, "Surely you belong to Jesus, I can tell by your accent."
How powerful is that? Peter had spent so much time with the Lord that the sound of his voice reflected it!
Lord this is my prayer today, that each one of us can reflect your sound. Let our voices resound your character, your influence, your love, your being! In that Lord people can't help but recognize you. There was no denying who Peter belonged to. Even before the servant girl heard Peters voice she knew that he belonged to the Lord. Peter had spent so much time with Christ that he not only sounded like Him but he also reflected His light.
Let's spend so much time with the Lord that everything about us shines that we are His! Our words, our faces, our hearts, our character, our accent- it displays our origin, where we are from, who we belong to: made in His image from the inside out, reflecting the Son, shining on the world!
Be blessed!
