“然而，有一件事我要责备你，就是你把起初的爱心离弃了。” ——启示录 2:4

有时候，我们并没有离开信仰，仍然聚会、服事、祷告，甚至坚持做对的事。别人看我们，也许觉得一切都很好，但主看的，不只是外面的行为，祂更看里面的心。

以弗所教会并不是没有优点。他们勤劳、忍耐、坚持真理，也能分辨错误。可是主却说：“你把起初的爱离弃了。” 主不是说你做得不够，而是轻轻指出：“你的心，离我远了。”

起初的爱，是刚认识主时那份单纯。一句祷告都会感动，一首诗歌就被触摸，读经像在听最爱的人说话。那时候亲近，不是因为责任，而是因为爱。

可时间久了，爱可能被忙碌盖住，被疲惫磨淡，被受伤冻结。我们还在做属灵的事，却少了属灵的温度；还在为主工作，却忘了先与主同行。

感谢主，责备背后不是拒绝，而是爱的呼唤。祂不是说：“你已经太远了。” 祂只是说：“回来。”

也许今天，主不是在问你做了多少，而是在轻轻问：“你还爱我吗？”

祷告： 主耶稣，若我忙着做很多事，却慢慢失去了起初爱祢的心，求祢赦免我。把我带回最单纯爱祢的地方，融化我的疲惫，医治我的受伤，唤醒沉睡的心。让我不只是为祢做工，更是真实与祢同行。今天，我愿意回来。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Back to First Love
Devotion for May 21, 2026

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

Sometimes, we have not walked away from faith. We still attend church, serve, pray, and continue doing what is right. To others, everything may seem fine. But the Lord does not only look at outward actions—He looks at the heart.

The church in Ephesus was not without strengths. They were hardworking, patient, faithful to truth, and able to discern error. Yet the Lord said: “You have forsaken your first love.” He was not saying, “You have not done enough.” He was gently pointing out: “Your heart has drifted from Me.”

First love is that simple devotion we had when we first knew Him. A prayer could move us to tears. A worship song could deeply touch us. Reading Scripture felt like hearing the voice of the One we love most. Back then, we drew near not out of duty, but out of love.

But over time, love can be covered by busyness, worn down by weariness, or frozen by hurt. We may still do spiritual things, yet lose spiritual warmth. We may still work for the Lord, yet forget to walk with Him.

But thank God—His correction is not rejection. It is a loving invitation. He is not saying, “You are too far gone.” He is simply saying: “Come back.”

Perhaps today, the Lord is not asking how much you have done. He is gently asking: “Do you still love Me?”

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, if I have become busy doing many things while slowly losing my first love for You, please forgive me. Bring me back to that simple place of loving You. Melt my weariness, heal my wounds, and awaken my sleeping heart. Let me not only work for You, but truly walk with You. Today, I choose to return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
