Jeremiah 2:2
“Go and cry in the hearing of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord:
“I remember you,
The kindness of your youth,
The love of your betrothal,
When you went after Me in the wilderness,
In a land not sown.
God was about to deliver a rebuke to Israel and He started first by reminding them of their original love for God, in the wilderness and in a foreign land. We too may show great enthusiasm when we first found the Lord. Human tendency means that we may grow to take the relationship between us and God for granted. It is the utmost importance that we maintain the relationship with God through walking in the spirit with His Spirit. Other practical things are useful such as daily devotion, serving in church, supporting charities but doing them without the Spirit is no better than 'filthy rags' as Jesus once said.
