Bible Question: How can I get back the fire I once had for the things of God. I have lost a great amount of the zeal I once had when I was first called to ministry |
Bible Answer: Brother, that just shows that you still got a fire going, or you wouldn't be asking. You may not feel the same as you did when you first got born again, but that is just a feeling, and feelings fade. Sort of like falling in love; when we first meet our lover, we feel like a seem-roller can run us over and we can just bounce back up! But that fades, and that falling in love kind of love gets replaced with a more steady, willful, active, "choosing" to love, kind of love. A brother told me he had to put rocks in his pockets so he wouldn't float away! :-) But, well, that goes away my friend. I wish I knew how to keep on that high but alas I know not. Take heart, and keep on seeking Him! Its like a roller-coaster, sometimes trilling, sometimes kinda dull. But as long as we stay on the track, we'll do ok. Acts 8:39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing. God bless John |
