How is your light burning for the Lord? It is easy for us to come up with reasons why we do not serve the Lord like we once did. Maybe we have faced hard times. Maybe things have not went our way. However, if in the midst of our difficulties, we no longer burn with a love for the Lord, that is our problem, and we must repent. You can work tirelessly doing the 'things of God' and not have your heart sold on God. The consequences of doing that are crucial. Read how John warns the church of Ephesus.
I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.- Revelation 2.3-5 (www.lifejournal.cc)
If the lampstand is the witness burning bright for the Lord, what will happen when we are just busy staying busy? We will not be effective.
Burn with the love of God! Let nothing dampen your flame, slow you down, or get in your way.
Love the Lord so much that you flame up for Him in all you do.
