Return to Your First Love CLICK on the Scripture above to link into your daily reading plan.
February 8, 2014
By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today! |
| TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "Look how far you have fallen from your first love! Turn back to me again and work as you did at first." (Revelation 2:5)
TODAY'S WORD , do you remember when you first fell in love with your spouse? Remember how you wanted to make such a great impression? You would wear your best clothes, put your best foot forward, and use your best manners. Wherever you went, people could see you holding hands and looking into one another's eyes. Then there were those little gifts you would give to each other throughout the week, just to let each other know how much you loved one another.
What brought you and your spouse together was your desire for companionship, for intimacy, for honesty. But when a husband and wife begin to take each other for granted, that marriage becomes endangered. A marriage is strong because you make it that way. Romance is kept alive by a conscious effort on your part. Romance is not something that comes and goes. It is something that you keep alive as you take part in the necessary activities to keep your marriage strong and vibrant.
A Christian's relationship with God is similar. This romance that we have with the Lord is more than mere emotionalism. Our relationship with God involves continuing to take part in the right things that will keep us strong spiritually.
Are you taking the Lord for granted today? If so, take the necessary steps to return to your first love-your love for Jesus Christ.
A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Lord, let me begin this day thinking on You, in joy unspeakable, and in blessing and praising You, who has given me such good hope and everlasting consolation. Lift up my mind above all these little things below, which are apt to distract my thoughts; and keep it above, until my heart is fully resolved to seek You every day, in the path where Jesus has gone before me, In Jesus Name, Amen. |
| , my your life be full of His blessings.
