Falling More Deeply in Love with Jesus [podcast 032]

February 23, 2017 Ellen Hogarty Leave a Comment

“You have forsaken the love you had at first.” Rev. 2:4

Heart from a book page against a beautiful sunset.

Jesus tells the church in Ephesus that they have worked hard, served Him well, been patient and enduring. But He has this against them – they have fallen from their first love. Jesus doesn’t just want us to hang on and endure, He wants us to be madly in love with Him. Because He is in love with us.

What are some ways we can fall more deeply in love with Jesus?

  1. Read His love letter daily – God has left us a love letter in the Bible.
  2. Go to confession.
  3. Praise and worship.
  4. Prayer
    • Appreciation and gratitude
    • Tell Jesus you love Him — often

Novena

I speak about a novena the community was praying asking for Father Thomas’s intercession using the prayer on the prayer cards. You can ask for Father Thomas’s intercession anytime. Here is a link to the official prayer cards:
