[Scriptures] Revelation 2:2~4 (Key point is verse 4.)
2. I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but you are not, and have found them false.
3. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
Hallelujah! I pray that the love of the eternal Holy Father God, and the peace of the Holy Son be with you.
People’s psychology is such that when something they have wanted comes true, initially they go crazy, their brains are so excited that they are consumed by it and rejoice without even sleeping or eating. However, that fiery heart that was delighted and loving [at first], will gradually cool down and the heart they had at first disappears.
In this way, their initial heart of liking them and loving them grows cold and they consider them to be unimpressive. In that way, the <love they had at first> grows cold in the body, the heart, and the thoughts.
Even toward the omniscient and omnipotent God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and the person, who came to save them, people love Them like fire at first and swear as if they will love Them for their entire lifetime without growing cold.They confess their love and make a determination to love Them.
Then because their <first love> has cooled, some people lose their hearts to the world, ultimately even lose their ‘bodies,’ and end up living wretched lives because they eventually even lose the ‘Holy Son,’.
The fire will be extinguished when the wood is completely burned. Therefore, we must make it continue to burn by constantly putting new wood in it.
By praying and conversing with the Holy Son, we must continually gain new things and love the Holy Son in a variety of ways. Then with the <first love> as the basis, the ‘fire of love’ will [keep burning and] not go out.
The same course you always took is boring and tiresome. You must find new things. Then you will do it because ‘strength’ will come and you will be burning with ‘hope.’ Find new things like you would find a treasure hidden in the field.
A <New thing> is ‘new strength,’ ‘new hope,’ and ‘new love.’
If you find a new thing, the ‘fire of the first love’ will catch fire.
I bless you to surely realize through hearing today’s message and for the ‘fire of the first love,’ to burn blazingly hot starting from now!
