“This is what the Lord says: ‘I remember the devotion of your
youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the wilderness,
through a land not sown.’” — Jeremiah 2:2
Andrae Crouch wrote the song “Take Me Back” It is about someone who has let the fire go
out in their relationship with Jesus.
“Take me back, take me back dear Lord -- To the place where I
first received you.
Take me back, take me back dear Lord where I first believed.
I feel that I'm so far from you Lord, But still I hear you calling
me.
Those simple things that I once knew, their memories keep drawing
me.
I must confess, Lord I've been blessed but yet my soul's not
satisfied.
Renew my faith, restore my joy and dry my weeping eyes.”
Is your love for God still fresh, like the day you prayed to
receive Christ as your Lord? Or, have you become casual in your relationship
with Him. Do you still acknowledge His divine nature and His sacrifice and the
unbelievable grace and mercy that God poured out on your life when you had
unbridled devotion to Him? Or do you treat your relationship as “no big deal”,
you are a Christian .. you love Jesus .. but you are no fanatic.
Maybe it is time to rekindle the fire that once burned so brightly
in your life. To remember just how
magnificent your salvation is .. and how great our God is.
"Take me back, take me back dear Lord -- To the place where I
first received you. Take me back, take me back dear Lord where I first
believed.”
Make that your prayer for today and every day. For His Glory and
for your good!
God Bless You
