The old days
Sometime’s I think about the close relationship that I once had with God, how I felt the Holy Spirit in me, the peace and joy, it’s hard to put in words. I remember my struggle to have that feeling again (it’s more than a feeling), I would say Lord, “I want things to be like they were before”………. still nothing,
There is no worst feeling than having the Holy Spirit leave, I remember feeling so empty, no one really understood, nothing had value anymore, I loved my wife, my son, yet even that love wasn’t the same without the Holy Spirit. I would say “oh Lord, when are thing’s going to be like they were.” Then one day I got my answer, it was clear as a Gospel! “when you do the things, that you did before!” All that time that I was asking when things would be like before, I wasn’t praying, wasn’t reading the Bible, wasn’t going to church, wasn’t doing anything, Yet I expected to have a close relationship with God! A jealous God will not be content with a divided heart; he must be loved first and best. Rev. 1: 2-5 says “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
If you feel that over time, you have allowed God to move down on your “Top Ten”, now is the time to return Him to His position, God has to be #1 in our lives. Lord we ask your forgiveness, for our affections have been set on the things of earth, instead of the things of heaven, Lord help to us to keep you #1 in our lives, in the Name of Jesus I ask these things, Amen y Amen
Good morning to some and good night to others, May GOD BLESS you All!
