Jesus Lord, You’re our first love

I woke up with this song on my heart. It is so wonderful to know our loving God. There is nothing deeper in our Christian life than this love.

I was thinking of the church in Ephesus. The church at the end of the first century. She carried on many of the good works. that were done by the initial churches of the apostles. But she had lost her first love.. This was the beginning of the degradation of the churches that followed in later ages. It is interesting to know that this church was still desirable. The church’s heart had become cold. Because of this, she could still be warmed up by the Lord. The really scary Church was Laodecia that was not hot or cold. what could the Lord do here? Oh Lord, warm our heart to love you more. We want to grow in this love to the extent we love the brothers.

“As the Body of Christ (Eph. 1:23), the church is a matter of life; as the new man (Eph. 2:15), it is a matter of the person of Christ; and as the bride of Christ (John 3:29), it is a matter of love. The first Epistle to the Ephesians tells us that for the church life we need to be strengthened into our inner man that Christ may make His home in our hearts, that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to know the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, that we may be filled unto all the fullness of God (Eph. 3:16-19); and it is for the church life that grace is with all those who love the Lord Jesus (Eph. 6:24). Now this second epistle to the Ephesians reveals that the degradation of the church begins with our leaving the first love toward the Lord. Nothing but love can keep us in a proper relationship with the Lord. The church in Ephesus had good works, labored for the Lord, endured suffering, and tried the false apostles (vv. 2-3), but she left her first love toward the Lord. The leaving of the first love is the source of all the degradation in the succeeding stages of the church. ” ~Rev. 2:4 footnote2.

Jesus Lord YOU are our FIRST LOVE! After all these years we still

LOVE YOU. Thank you for you mercy and your continually drawing us to Love you. Lord we are here watching and waiting for your coming. Come Lord Jesus!

Jesus Lord, You’re our first love!

Lord we’ve like to love You with our first and best love! We repent on loving so many other things. But we just turn our hearts back to You right now!

Recover our first love toward You.

Fill us with your sweet rest!

Jesus Lord! You are our first love! Lord we turn our heart back to you! Lord draw us! Lord! We Love you Lord Jesus!

Verse one and verse four are the same. This seems to be the main point of the hymn. You are our first love. Even in turbulent times, when our heart is loving you and your in first place, oh what peace and rest!

Jesus Lord we love You. Always be our best and first love. Keep drawing us away from all the cares and anxieties of the world to Yourself. Deliver us from being busy agitated Martha's to being single-hearted Mary's, inwardly sitting at Your feet, gazing into Your lovely face and absorbing Your words. May we be those who increasing learn to live in our spirits, singing and psalming to You and one another in our hearts. We love You dearest Lord. Thank You for first loving us.

- "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did that which was right in his own eyes." (Judg. 17:6, 21:25)

- "But I have one thing against you, that you have left your first love." (Rev. 2:4)

In today's society, we see people doing which was right in their own eyes, and we are actually the same as them whenever we leave our first love to the Lord and are empty, forsaking our Husband and King. May we learn to come back to our Husband, inquire of Him regarding our affairs, even our personal universe. What He longs for is that we would be brought to a living in the most intimate contact with Him in this marvelous marriage union. Let us all be filled with Him, loving Him with our best love!
