But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. (Revelation 2:4 ESV)
Many times in my travels, I look at the passenger seat in my car... It is filled usually with my ipad, music, and a Bible, and whatever odds and ends I happen to put there...like food. I have lost count at how many times I have wished for company, for someone.. Anyone I love to be in that seat. Because I get lonely in my car, for extended hours of travel. Why I travel so much, only God knows what is happening. He has taken me on a journey I never would have planned, expected, or really wanted. But here i am, in one piece, and still have joy.
The emptiness I feel sometimes, I guess if you pull that out of my longing for a partner, and put it to... Not knowing Christ... It fits. Cause honestly what is the thing that so many people try to fill with drugs, sex, alcohol... The sense of being alone, no one cares, anger... Whatever it is they...we... Are searching for better.... For non believers its the God that made them and wants them. For us believers.. Its our first love! I know for myself so many times in a day i abandon my first love. In choices i make, in conversations I have. Everything!
Then we wonder why we feel miserable? It is because we are or have lost touch with our Creator. The Bible talks about how when you seperate yourself from Him and dont honor Him. You begin to go back to your old ways, the ways of the flesh. The lust of the eyes, the pride of...yourself.
We are a sinful race, only saved by grace. It is by grace you have been saved!
Let us remember our purpose here! Remember your creator in the days of your youth!
May the love of God indwell you today!
Proclaim Him wherever you go!
Do not be ashamed!
