My love for you will never die, so goes a popular song, yet the person singing it may have been married three times, it was our Saviour who said to a group of Christians,that they had left their first love [Revelation 2 v4 ] .The warm flush of desire,and warmth ,of wanting to be in His presence, had disappeared,they were just going through the religous motions. They sang the hymns,prayed words but their hearts were not in it, it had become but an empty shell. When love goes out of a marriage,the marriage will suffer,and whan love goes out our relationship with our Saviour,that is sad, but it is more than that, it is a sin. We need to repent , our Saviour is not pleased with us when we replace love,with an other, true love is meant to stay true,meant to remain faithful,not to change like the weather. One of the reasons our Saviour gives for divorce is hardness of heart,[Matthew 19 v8 ],there is no better way of saying it,hardness of heart,and make no mistake about it it is a sin. Surely our Saviour does not deserve such an attitude, no more than a wife or a husband, we are commanded to love, yes commanded, and if we dont, we are sinning. You may bring out you reasons, for not loving,but consider, has God not a mountain of reason not to love this world,but that does not stop Him loving [John 3 v16 ]
A prayer..../Dear God forgive me for my hardness of heart,for my coldness towards others and especially towards You,by Your Spirit renew a right spirit within me, in Jesus name Amen /
