The Zeal of Children for Their Father

Jeremiah 2:2

Go and shout this message to Jerusalem. This is what the LORD says: "I remember how eager you were to please me as a young bride long ago, how you loved me and followed me even through the barren wilderness.

God remembers each day that we delight in His presence in our lives.  He remembers how hungry we were to know Him when we first received His Son as Our Savior.  He feels sorrow when He sees our knowledge of Him increasing while our zeal for Him is becoming stale.  He longs for us to return to the energy and enthusiasm that we showed Him when we were first born again in Christ.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we pray that you will fill us with the zeal of young children who run to their earthly Father to express their love and their joy in being in his presence.  May the fire of Your Holy Spirit rekindle our devotion and fervency for You.
