I had a bit of nostalgia as I went through some old family videos. As I saw my wife in those videos, it made me think of "first love" and how we all need to return to it.
"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." Revelation 2:4.
As we get busier and busier with life, it is entirely possible to leave our first love. Do you remember a time in your life when you enjoyed the Lord in a "first love" kind of way? What changed? Who changed? The Lord doesn't change. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If anyone has changed, it is us. And the Lord is always the one who bids us return to Him. He is the one that stands at the door and knocks. He wants anyone -- anyone! -- to open the door so that He can come in and, "sup with him, and he with me." Isn't that incredible that the LORD wants to fellowship with us?
Friends, I want you to consider your first love today. When we pray for revival, we're simply praying for a restoration of the joy of the Lord -- which is our first love. Let's get back there.
