Our first love for God is one that ignites within us a desire for more of Him. It's a longing to be wherever He is, to dwell in His presence continually. And as we journey with Him, we're reminded that He alone sustains us, empowering us to pursue Him with all that we have.

2 Corinthians 11:24-30

"Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern? If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness."

We'll discuss the need to set aside pride and embrace undignified desperation in our pursuit of God, recognizing that true encounter requires letting go of self-focus. Let's explore what it means to run to the Lord with sincere praise, ready to encounter Him in our deepest moments of need.
