I was reading Revelations this morning,  
Jesus dictating to John a couple of things  
he wanted the churches to hear 'first hand'...     

I would love to hear the affirming words of Jesus, 
"I know that your deeds, your hard work,
and your perseverance...."   
Yeah!    
Thank You Jesus, for recognizing the struggle 
and my pushing through to remain loyal 
and hard working.....        

Yeah....

Oh but wait, He's not finished....
A few more accolades...
Yes!... :)

......."Yet,"..... Jesus says,
"I hold this against you:.....
You have forsaken your first Love." ref Rev 2:2-5

Forsaken - to tell to leave, to abandon, to desert

and they didn't know it....
They were waiting for the 'Good work guys' complement....

Left Jesus
to do 'Jesus-work'
like....
"Stop bothering me Jesus, I am doing Your work!"

Ouch!....

Lord Jesus,
What am I missing?
What part of You and me
have I left
to focus on
DOing (your stuff....)?

What was sweet that we had
and we don't now.?

Show me today.
I want to repent.
and move back to that place of
sweet relationship with You.

Yeah.
