You forget the Rock who begot you,
unmindful now of the God who fathered you.
(Deuteronomy 32:18) |

"I have
this complaint
to make;
you have
less love now
than you used to."†
That first fervor
is pitiably fragile
we probably realize
from our own
experience
but
we may not
have realized that
we bear a
responsibility
for keeping it
alive,
as these words
disconcertingly
imply.
Has the intensity
of our love
and dedication
wound down?
Can this sad
indictment
be leveled
against us
and against our
congregation
as it was
once spoken
against the
Ephesians?
"You have
less love now
than you used to."†
† Revelation 2:4 |
