“LOVE YOU HAD AT FIRST”

*

Revelation 2:1-4 New International Version

To the Church in Ephesus

2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:

These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.

“4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.”

*

Jeremiah 2:2

New International Version

2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem:

“This is what the Lord says:

“‘I remember the devotion of your youth,

how as a bride you loved me

and followed me through the wilderness,

through a land not sown.”

*

Matthew 22:36-38 New International Version

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.”

*

me: How do we love God with all our heart, soul and mind? How do we make sure we continue to love our Lord and Savior Jesus with everything we’ve got? Let’s take a few moment to pray, and ask the Holy Spirit to teach and enable us so we can love the Lord with all our heart.

* I’d enjoy reading some of your thoughts on these verses. *
