Are You In Love With Your First Love?
This morning I took a quick look at Revelation 2:4 where Chirst is talking to the church of Ephesus and states that what He has against them is that they had left their first love.
I started thinking about where I was at…am I still in love with my first love…Jesus? You know the church of Ephesus was doing many great things. Christ talks about all the things they were doing that were “spiritually” correct. But they weren’t doing them out of the love for Christ.
Where does my desire to do right come from? Why do I help with the youth of our church? Why do I tell other struggling Christians that I’ll pray for them?
Is this for my glory?…or is it out of pure love for Christ?
So many times I find myself wandering from my first love. I pursue other things or I do things for my own glory and pride. I want my heart to be so enthralled with Jesus that everything I do has His best interests in mind. I want to desire to love people, give of myself, lead youth ministries, all for the glory and love of Christ.
Jesus,
I pray that you will help me to love you with everything I have. I pray that your would stay my first love and my fortress that I run too. Jesus, I pray that everything I say, think, and do glorifies You.
Amen
