Revelation 2:4 Yet I hold this against you: you have forsaken the love you had at first.

God knows how much we go through in our lives, minds and hearts. He is with us every step of the way and continues to want to help us further.

But should we turn our backs on love, we lose sight of the goals God has set before us.

God wants us to take His love with us wherever we go, not leave it behind with the people we think deserve it.

His love must be shared openly and freely – that is how He gave it to us.

Hebrews 12:8 If you are not disciplined – and everyone undergoes discipline – then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.

When was the last time your parents disciplined you in some way? It may be quite a while from my point of view, but I know my parents always wanted me to do what was right.

When I stepped out of line, they would try and get me back in line sooner rather than later – this often meant some sort of disciplining.

God is no different. When we step out of line, He does what is required to get us back in line and to do what is righteous.

He does this because of His great love for us.

Hebrews 12:12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.

Have you ever tried to hold something up for an extended period? Even though it may be something small, your arms tire and you eventually give in!

God knows we continue to face small temptations all the time – we continue to try and fight them, but we give in after a while because we are tired of fighting them!

Allow God to strengthen you through the Holy Spirit in your daily lives – in everything you do, accept His help!
