1 John 1:1-2 From the very first day, we were there, taking it all in—we heard it with our own ears, saw it with our own eyes, verified it with our own hands. The Word of Life appeared right before our eyes; we saw it happen! And now we're telling you in most sober prose that what we witnessed was, incredibly, this: The infinite Life of God himself took shape before us.
3-4We saw it, we heard it, and now we're telling you so you can experience it along with us, this experience of communion with the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. Our motive for writing is simply this: We want you to enjoy this, too. Your joy will double our joy!
As I think about the teens today. I think about how God is in the process of taking shape in these teens lives. And as the scripture shows us we get to have a first witness account of his communion(fellowship) with the teens. This should bring us immense joy and it is something to be enjoyed. After traveling for three weekends and being with a new group of teens every weekend. I can truly say that there is something special about our teens. Through the hardship in life they see everyday, they still get on the bus. They dont have to but they do. When the world is all hell around you..it's sometimes hard to see God..but because of the light in you they see some hope of life through the darkness. We get to consider that a joy.
God is at work in the young people all over the world. I refuse to let the news discourage me. They say 1 in 4 teenage girls have an STD and the percentage of African American girls were overwhelming. But you know what that 1 in 4 is our next prophetess, our next evangelist and the next in line to have fellowship with God. I refuse to believe the world's report that the youth of America are lost. And I'm going to be ready to watch the Lord bring His infinite life to thier world.
