Revelation 2:2-4
“I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance. I know that you cannot tolerate evildoers; you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them to be false. I also know that you are enduring patiently and bearing up for the sake of my name, and that you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.
First love
Idealistic
Naive
Stimulating
Delightful
Memorable
Blind
There’s nothing quite like it
To last, it must change
Grow
Develop
Mature
That takes work
Investment
Nurture
Relentless Care
Radical belief
