Remember…
This is the act of a child looking back upon former days. Do you remember…when God FIRST awakened your soul? Do you remember…the excitement you had when He plucked you out of darkness? Did you do a joyful dance? Did you feel like an orphan who became a child of God? Did you transform from a dead sinner person to a resurrected person? Did you change from an enemy of God to His beloved?

Remember…waking and He was the FIRST person you’d speak to? You loved to pray. Remember…He came FIRST as you went to Him in His Word because your great love waited for you there. He was the FIRST person you would devote your time. Remember…how you desired Him like the Psalmist, “There is nothing I desire besides you” (Psalm 73:25). You would share your soul till the sun went down with Him. Remember…all those quiet mornings at His feet, praying to be more like Mary of Bethany and loving Him as He changed you? Do you remember? Remember how you loved sharing His love with those who did not know Him? How you cared for lost souls? Remember the souls? Investing in eternity as you shared your testimony with the lost and lonely.

It’s time to come back. Come back to your FIRST LOVE. JESUS. He’s waiting with open loving arms. Don’t feel guilty anymore. Don’t hide. Cry out for mercy confessing your coldness towards Him. He is waiting with grace. Let Him know you haven’t loved Him as He deserves. He is waiting with forgiveness and ready to restore what you once had with Him. He wants you back. That’s all He cares about. He say’s “return” to His heart of love. He will help you rekindle that fire with a fresh fire of love towards Him. Fall back into His arms of grace and be kept in the love of God. Sing Jesus in your heart. Take long walks in nature if you need to. Music, poetry, reading about Him, and enjoy His beauty. Evangelize once again. Make Him number one again. Your story is not over. It has just begun. You can have that sweet relationship with God through Jesus once again.

Seek Him, cry to Him, wait for Him-
No more looking back at what you once had..
Remember…
Come back to your FIRST LOVE.
