The foundation of our generation

I love IHOP.
I really do. Not just because it is "IHOP" but the people there are incredible.
The thing I love most is the older people. I mean, it's encouraging and exciting to see how many young people, people from my generation, who are there worshiping and loving God there are. It's a must - our generation NEEDS to rise up - but it's much more fantastic to me to see people a little older ... 40, 50, 60, 70 ... These are the people who, after years of doing Christianity one way, have let Jesus work a great change in them and learn to love and enjoy and see Him in a totally different way! These are the people that will mentor, guide and release our generation! They are abandoned to God and in letting themselves be so, show the younger generation what it looks like to go after Him with everything that they have and to give themselves over to Him no matter what it looks like. I have mad respect for these people and can only hope one day to be as much a beacon of Christ as they are.
Already my experience at IHOP is an amazing one.
Already I am being surprised, fascinated and captured by God.
Already I can feel a change in me.

Thank you God for letting me come!
I'm not leaving without your heart!
