Jesus calls us to reclaim our first love with Him (Revelation 2:1-7). The heart of our Heavenly Father is to bless us by enlarging our borders (1 Chronicles 4:10), but we must first reclaim what has been lost in our relationship with Him. He gently invites us to love Him like we used to, to regain lost ground. We lose ground in our relationship with Jesus because we either find ourselves giving into sin repeatedly or we become distracted by the good things God brings into our lives. Sometimes we lose ground because we’ve been hurt by others, because of circumstances beyond our control, or because we get disappointed in God. We take steps to reclaim what was lost by remembering what caused the separation, repenting and changing directions, and repeating what we did at first in our relationship with Him.
