"People don't fall out of love. In reality, their love cools as other things gradually take priority and focus." I was caught by these words of Byron Paulus, Executive Director of "Spirit of Revival."
Paulus continued with, "Then one day they realize that there's no real connection, nor real relationship that feels worth preserving."
I would add to his challenging statement. Lost love can also happen through the escalation of disappointments, hurts and resentments - toward our wife, closest friend or even to God.
We're left with the question: have I, have you, left our first love with Jesus? You and I are makng daily choices that are leading us toward or away from intimacy with HIm. The same for those of us who are married. Daily we make choices to either focus on expressing love and appreciation to him/her or we focus elsewhere.
I stand challenged. Do you? BE back with you after New Year's. Go Boise State Broncos and "Roll Tide" Alabama.
