To the Church in Ephesus
2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands: 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. 5 Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God..
(Rev. 2:1-7)
What happens when we forsake our first LOVE?
To Him who saved us from the depths of sin
To Him who cleansed us as white as snow
To Him who descended from heaven to show His great Love?
I am indeed sad and hurting because they are starting to forsake God,
God who has been the source of our strength, who has been our refuge..
I hope our love for Him won't fade just like this...
Let's walk steadfastly
Let's do all things with Love..
We say "I love GOd"
but how do we show that its true?
What will happen?
