Johns....I agree, it also has me baffled in a way. May I ask if you are a new believer?

Shain, one thing I have noticed is that many Christians relate that they have lost their first love at different times, and work to get that back, like in reading the Bible more, or different things. For myself, and many other Christians I know, that has never happened, but then, I have so much to be thankful for, as I come from a place where I know I was heading to Hell, and in fact when I called out to the Lord, I thought I was already there.... I have been given so very much that I can never stop being overwhelmed that God has forgiven and made me acceptable in the Beloved. How could anyone ever get over that? I will praise Him for all eternity!

I found this verse a long time ago, and it surely made sense to me...as I was forgiven so very much. My God made me acceptable in the Beloved. It is the first love I have ever known, and the only true love

Luk 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Love,
Mari
