Revelation 2:4 (NKJV) 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
Today we want to reach out to those who may have fallen away from God, or maybe aren’t walking as closely with God as you once were.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re backslidden and buried in sin. But maybe you’ve gotten so busy with life, or even so busy with ministry work, that somehow God has gotten pushed to the background and you no longer have the same love for Him that you once did.
In our relationship with The Creator, we are never static. We are moving closer to Him or further away. There is no middle ground.
The cares of this world can quickly sneak in and drive a wedge between us and God if we don’t protect our relationship vehemently. We have to be like a vigilant watchdog on high alert, watching carefully for anything that might try to derail that relationship, even the slightest little bit.
And most importantly, don’t let the enemy whisper in your ear and condemn you for anything. His motive is to keep you as far from God as possible, and if he can convince you that you’re guilty and beyond hope, it just may accomplish what he wants it to.
So remember your first love and return to Him today. He’s waiting for you with His arms wide open.
