First Love

Do you still remember your first love? Yes? Are you sure?
What is so important of first love? It is pure, natural and passionate.

First love was the sermon title in my church last Sunday. According to a research, love can only lasts for 1-2 years because human being gets bored easily. Love is like a plant, need to be fed, nurtured and fertilised in a right approach, otherwise it will be withered and tasteless.

In Revelation 2:1-7 God praised Ephesus as an ideal church because they were diligent, strong commitment and long suffering. On the other hand, God warned them because there was no longer joy, humility and love in serving God, they abandoned their first love.

This sermon hit me badly. I remembered how excited when I first fell in love with God. I read many Christian books, bible, attended many seminars, bible studies and sermons and shared my testimonies. I was over joy and zealous day and night. What happened to me now? I confessed to God and I am still learning to cut down some activities and setting my focus to God.

How you? Are you also too busy in activities and routine works hence forgetting about our first love to God? Let’s remember our first love!

You know, for me, 1st love was never happened...

It's my selfishness that keep my passion well within...i suffered yet i did not change...

Time flies..years after that, am still a selfish person.

And now, i am learning...the process are really painful but sweet...God has been my most faithful supporter and witness.

I thank God, for everything that has been delayed, yet on time...
