Psalm 145:4 (nkj)

"One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts."


Our God is so perfect and wonderful, and His goodness is for years and years and years. You're loving Jesus from where you're standing (age, place...) and other people - young, old and inbetween - are loving Jesus in their own way, in their own lifetime and at the age they happen to be. It's a nice thought, all the ages loving Jesus in different seasons and styles. We've all seen His love and greatness span over the course of our own lives and we're all seeing Him move across the earth from our own perspective and context's. It's exciting to know that His love and strong hands stretch across the generations, and we have the honor of living a life and serving a King whose love and miracles span distances much wider and longer than we can possibly conceive in our mind and contain in one lifetime.

So, all this to say: tell all the people around you about what He has done. Keep His name pure and lovely around the earth by telling people about all the good things Jesus has done in your life and in the world. It's a beautiful act of worship to express the love and delight we have in Him to those that have gone before us, to those beside us, and to those who are to come. We must hold each other's hands' and tell them what He means to us, and what He has done for us. Tell people that God does good things. This will strengthen those around you and not to mention your own soul.

Take some time to write a little list - literally - of all the good things he has done in your life, in the history of your family, and in the history of the human race. Read over the list, praise HIm for it, then tell young and old all about what He has done. As you sit with your friends or family and hang out, maybe say a couple things that you've seen God do in you, the world and in the lives of those around you. You will be encouraged knowing that no matter how dark things get down here on this earth, God is moving. He is real, and He is mighty!
