God hit me with this passage when I was at breaking point in ministry. I wanted to quit. I had lost my joy and I didn't know why. I was scheduled to preach at another church and was alone. I remember crying and calling out to God asking why I felt this way. I pleaded to Him to show me what was wrong. I opened my bible and opened to this passage. This night changed my life. I remember reading the first part of the letter and thinking, Wow what a great church! Then I read verse 4. I said, "God, is it possible to be that good and not love You?" He said to me, "Yes, Adrian, this is what you have been doing for the past 10 years in ministry." It broke my heart! I couldn't believe it. It was true. I had no relationship and yet I had a ministry. I needed to learn to love Jesus again. Verse five says repent and go back to what it was like to when you first believe. That night I began a journey of personal devotion that has not only seen me through even more challenging physical pain and yet the most glorious joy I have ever experienced. I can now love people the way I need to because I have learnt to love Jesus! It has been two and a half years now. God has done more through me than my 10 years prior!! Glory to God

I needed to hear this teaching and the reminder.... Don't forget what it was like when you loved Me, not doing ministries for me (serving the created). I love the wisdom all throughout this sermon / teaching. Thank you.

At this very moment I felt this hit me straight centre between the eyes. All my ignorant defense just fell apart. Thank you for setting my reset button.

Wow!! Sometimes I feel like a chicken with my head cut off serving at church.. Maybe 2020 was a year meant to slow me down, and go back to MY FIRST LOVE! JESUS... I'm sorry... Thank you Crawford Loritts... and I agree about those Grandchildren/Children LOL!!!
