Re-Finding Your First Love Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Ephesus had been a great church, but now it had lost it's first love for Jesus. If it happened to them, how can we make sure it doesn't happen to us?
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”
Did you know the poem? It’s called “Footprints” and it’s so popular that it people often use it as part their decorations of their home.
Now, why does that poem mean so much to people? Because it talks of God’s love for us. His love is so deep and powerful that He promises never to leave us or forsake us. He promises to always be near no matter what our circumstances are. And that promise from Scripture makes us feel good about God.
But now, think about that in reverse. What do you think God feels like when His people make the same commitment to Him? What do think He feels when we’ll do whatever is necessary to spend time with Him in Bible Study, Prayer and church?
He’d feel really good wouldn’t He? He’d feel your love for Him in a powerful and meaningful way. And that’s what we really want isn’t it?
