But I have against you, that you have left your first love. Revelation 2: 4
How is your passion to God?
I have seen people who have years of being Christian, and they stop attending the Church, they get discouraged quickly, they go and return, and they do not have a stability, maybe they can be immature spiritual, weak in the faith, emotional, or they go through tests and get discouraged, but to all this, there is no reason to judge, that is why God told the Church of Ephesus you have left your first love!
And it is that the Christian life is not easy, Jesus himself said it: in the world you will have affliction, trials, but he also promised to be with us every day, only that we are the ones who let go of him, and we leave that first love, that passion that we have at the beginning when we become, that desire to know more about Him, that hunger and thirst for justice, because we are in our first love.
Once they told me that I was in my first love, that the joy I had was because I was beginning the ways of God, and that people feel very well and full, but along with this they told me that the days would go away to remove, I was going to go off little by little because that's how they all start! I could realize the bad advice, so I took the good and discarded the bad, and those words impelled me more not to be emotional, but to be Christian at all times, not of words but bearing fruit as well, not only when God blesses me , but also in the test, since since I started loving God I accepted it by decision not by emotion.
Personally, I consider that the worst thing that people can do is LEAVE that first love, it is very difficult that we will not deny it, but every day we must ask God for strength to come from Him, to resist all the offer of the world, ask for love to love others, and give us love as doing, and give us passion.
God is all a gentleman, and that is why he gave us free will, but also the demand of his children the first place, the first love, our life, soul and body.
Every day we must look for him in prayer and in his word, because it is a relationship, it is like in a relationship of engagement that if there is no communication and it falls into routine everything dies, we do not lose that communication with our father, since he wants us to let us strive and seek it in intimacy, if Jesus who was sinless sought Him every day and spent hours in His presence, how much more we! That our life depends on Him, that apart from Him we can not do anything, and that when that passion, that love and the service that we give to Him, goes out and we leave it aside, it is the worst thing we can do . Putting other things, other priorities do not help us well, falling into idolatry that is putting anything above God.
Jesus gave everything for each one of us on the cross! We must not forget his work for us, but just in case we forget, remember that he is LOVE, the greatest proof of love is not, therefore, that must fall in love with him every day, stoking the gift of God that He has placed in us, looking for him at all times, being grateful to him, and above all, being in that first love, do not let anything or anyone take that place that God deserves, it is FIRST LOVE, FIRST PLACE, because he is the the beginning and the end, in Him everything is!
God deserves to be sought, although sometimes we do not feel like it, but we should not do it because of feelings, emotion or depending on the situation, that every day the first thing we do is look for our LOVE! That is the only one that never fails us or will fail us, deposit our whole life in it, look for it first before our phone, computer, TV, work or homework, DO NOT AFFECT! And let's not leave the first love!
God is love and therefore let us communicate more with our true love JESUS!
