Day 2: God Remembers Your First Love
Reading: Jeremiah 2:1-3; Revelation 2:1-5
Devotional: God told Israel through the prophet Jeremiah that He remembered the tenderness of their early devotion - the season when they followed Him through the wilderness without hesitation. To the church at Ephesus, He acknowledged their hard work, their endurance, and their commitment to truth, yet declared that they had left their first love. He remembered what their love once looked like. He noticed the difference. First love is not simply an emotion - it is a posture of the heart in which God is not merely important but central. He is not asking for more activity. He is asking to be treasured again.
Reflection: Think back to a season when your love for God felt most alive. What characterized that time, and what has shifted since then?
