Like the love of a husband and wife that grows cold through the years, as a believer, you can grow cold in your love for the Lord. It’s not like you hate God, or are angry with him. It’s not even that you ignore him, are indifferent to him, or are not even doing things for him. You just have not kept your passionate love for him as the number one priority of your life. The truth is, God wants your heart more than anything else—more than your head, what you know about him, and your hands, what you do for him. He pleadingly says to you, “Do you love me more than these?”
A Simple Prayer To Love God Like I Did At First:
God, I do love you. But I have taken you for granted. I have often been more engaged in doing for you than in loving you. Please forgive me, and give me the grace to remember how pure and right and fulfilling it was for me when you first rescued me from spiritual darkness and eternal death With the help of your Holy Spirit, I will keep my love for you as the first and highest priority of my life.
