"Awake, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." (Ephesians 5:14)
I'm afraid. Although the Bible often say, "Fear not" !, I'm afraid of something very concrete: the terrible signs of the end time, which the Lord Jesus said, "... love will grow cold of almost everyone." There is much talk of brotherly love, the love of neighbor.
But here I remember many people, their wonderful first burning love for the Lord Jesus.
With tears in his eyes, one day you became, he found the forgiveness of their sins, rejoice in the Lord, was zealous in witness for Him, struggled in winning souls to the Lamb of God, knelt with other children of God to pray - and today? Everything became shallow. The love in you not.
Paul says, "... the love of Christ constrains us." The exalted Lord cries, "I have somewhat against thee, thou hast left thy first love." That's what I'm afraid, and repeatedly seek the face of the Lord to examine me and ask Him to enlighten me, and ask, "Lord, I'm still on the first love" You do not feel the deadly cold of the end of time that threatens to come over us? "... Love is all wax cold." I ask you from the bottom of my heart: do not let your love cool!
