He spoke plainly.

Mark 7:35, And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

The man was unable to speak clearly because he was unable to hear clearly. This miracle goes far beyond physical healing, for the man was immediately able to speak plainly! When his word came to us, we were unable to hear until he unstopped our own deaf ears; now he also releases our tongue that we may also speak plainly of all that he has done for us!

Thank you for opening our ears to your word that we may plainly speak your truth in love!
