Thoughts For Today

Do you remember your first love? In the natural, you experienced a rush that came just from knowing the recipient of your affection was near and that soon you would spend time together. Do you still experience that same exhilaration when you think of time alone with Jesus? Is He still your first love? Is He still the source of your strength that you draw from in the good times and the bad? In Revelations 2:4, God admonishes the church at Ephesus for getting away from its first love as they had apparently lost their zeal for being Disciples of Christ. “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” If that describes where you are, give your love for Jesus the place it deserves. Come back to your first love wholeheartedly and commit yourself to being a devoted Disciple of Christ. Put Jesus first in every area of your life and let the love of God be shed abroad in your heart (Romans 5:5).
