Return to your first love...!

Revelation 2:4-5 NKJV

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.  Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

† Shalom †......! Day #187. Do you know that there's a need for everyone of us to return back to our first love? Let us pray. Father, forgive us for neglecting our first love and have strayed away from Your love and truth. Restore unto us the joy of our salvation and renew a right spirit within us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, Christ keeps an account of every hour's work his servants do for him, and their labour shall not be in vain in the Lord. But it is not enough that we are diligent; there must be bearing patience, and there must be waiting patience. And though we must show all meekness to all men, yet we must show just zeal against their sins. The sin Christ charged this church with, is, not the having left and forsaken the object of love, but having lost the fervent degree of it that at first appeared. Christ is displeased with his people, when he sees them grow remiss and cold toward him. Surely this mention in Scripture, of Christians forsaking their first love, reproves those who speak of it with carelessness, and thus try to excuse indifference and sloth in themselves and others; our Saviour considers this indifference as sinful. They must repent: they must be grieved and ashamed for their sinful declining, and humbly confess it in the sight of God. They must endeavour to recover their first zeal, tenderness, and seriousness, and must pray as earnestly, and watch as diligently, as when they first set out in the ways of God. If the presence of Christ's grace and Spirit is slighted, we may expect the presence of his displeasure.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. Return back to the place where you  begin stray awa from the Lord, and from that point allow God to rebuild, restore us once again. Repent and do once again the works you do when you first fell in love with Jesus. Alway remember from where you've fallen, get up and begin to run again instead of enjoying your life in the mud. Amen!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
