My First Love
Wed, May 7, 2008
Last night I was reading the Revelation of John, I read these words Jesus spoke to the Church in Ephesus:
Revelation 2:4-5
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.
I started thinking about how I lived life when I first came to know Jesus. I remember picking people up and giving them rides, I remember giving money because I had been given so much (through Jesus), I remember praying like everything depended on it and reading the scripture like it was a cool drink for a parched throat.
It has been funny how stepping out on faith has forced me back into that person again. It is like I had been looking through rose colored lenses and now I see things as they are. Every step seems more important, every conversation takes has a different tone. It’s like I am back at that place with God where everything is new and trust and hope are the only things I’ve got!

Kent, I love the man you are! I can’t believe God is allowing me to share my life with you! I love your blog about your “First Love.” That is the man I fell in love with. That is the kind of people we need to continue becoming!
I wish I could spend the day with you!
Love you!
