Long and Lost   Sunday, February 13, 2013

​

What's long and lost and fairly inexpensive to replace?  A broom.  After taking a borrowed broom to keep on the bus I use, I continued my search for my own personal broom.  How can one loose a broom?  They are pretty hard to conceal.

​

After weeks of looking and the dirt was piling up, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase another one.  I went to Wallyworld, bought my prize sweeping device and headed home.  I opened the car door and before I even stepped out of my car, my eyes met my old broom sitting there on the deck.  Only me!!!

​

What's long and lost and easy yet hard to replace?  Your first love for Jesus Christ.  The book of revelation shares this with a church.  It was a church that had lost it's first love.  

Does that describe you?  Have you lost your passion for the One who has a passion for you?  Here's the remedy.  Revelation 2:5 "5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works".  Dime store translation, "remember who you were, a sinner separated from God, remember what happened, you trusted Jesus to forgive you, and come back to Him.  Remember how you got your first love in the first place.

​

Hey, don't be satisfied with just existing through life.  Love the Lord with all you have.  We love Him because He first loved us.

Have an awesome week!
