LIKE I USED TO
Today's reading: Revelation 1-6

"But I have this complaint against you. You don't love me or each other as you did at first!" Revelation 2:4 NLT

If it weren't written in red, I might not have taken it as personally as I have.

If it weren't in the living, breathing Word of God, I might have dismissed it.

If it weren't the truth, I might not have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach like I have now.

You see, I've been cheating on God. My attention has been divided. I've not been giving Him my heart, soul, mind and strength. I've had wandering eyes and questionable tendencies.

He's right, I probably don't love Him, or you, as I did when I first fell in love with Him.

Sure, I could place blame--you aren't so easy to love, I'm only human, life happens and spiritual maturity sets in and the rose-colored glasses come off.

But Him? He hasn't changed. He's never failed me. He's stayed true and faithful to our relationship.

I've waivered in my commitment to Him.

He says that's the only complaint He has against me? I'm sure He's just being gracious, because there are so many more...it's just that this one is the biggest offense.

Okay, okay, enough about me--what about you?
