It's one voice, one cry, and one shout of praise unto the One True God. This blog was not designed to give a group of young people something to do, but rather to amplify voices of praise and encouragement from those willing to speak. In that, we come together as one, seeking that others be spiritually renovated, torn down and made new. It's not always polished. Sometimes it's rugged. Sometimes it isn't dressed up or beautiful. The heart can be an ugly thing. But seeing the grace of our Savior, and knowing the heart of the Father, it's the ruggedness that makes it beautiful. The darkness of our hearts and minds is wrapped up in grace, and we are free. So, we spill our guts, we shout aloud. It's everyone's voice - united.

What a pursuit, What a love

I figured I would try this thing out, see how to do this deal, so I am just going to write a thought from a verse that I read yesterday.


Acts 7:34 "I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groans and have come down to rescue them. Now go, for I am sending you back to Egypt."
As I read this verse, two words hit me real hard, "come down". For some reason my mind shifted to 2 Timothy 1:9 "For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserve it, but because that was his plan from the beginning of time-to show us his grace through Christ Jesus".

Okay, here is where I ended up; God wanted to have fellowship with us, so He created us. But what gets me is the fact that even before He created us He knew what was going to go down. He knew that we were going to rebel, hate, and pretty much just curse His name. He also knew before hand that He was going to "come down" out of Heaven (which ment that He knew that He was going to be giving up His Glory) through His Son, Christ, and that we were going to kill Him.

It really humbles me as I sit here and think about this. Knowing all of this before hand, and He still creates us, and then after He redeems us, we are "blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms" (Eph 1:3-4), promised that He will never remember our sins (Heb 10:17), and then tells us in Hebrews 10:22 that we can go into His presence! What a pursuit God has after us! What a love Christ has for us!

There is nothing that we can do with this Truth but just worship!

    Amen! I love your response to the truth. Grace is given that Glory may be given.
    Eph. 1:4 "To the praise of the glory of His grace"
