returning to my first love

I have had a rough time these past few weeks since I got back from camping. I started to drift from my love relationship with Christ and I fell into complacency and began to seek for pleasure in worldly things. It was really rough on my spiritually and now I feel like I have to relearn some things (which is a scary thought). But I have come to realize how far I have fallen backward and I am fighting to get back on my feet. The Lord is just so amazing in his grace and the fact that he is so much greater than any earthly pleasure. I have to keep reminding myself and embracing that truth. It is so hard. There is a famous quote that says that “the hardest thing about the Christian life is that it is so daily.” I think I have come to see that as a powerful truth. It is so hard to daily surrender to God and to wake up every morning and give your day for his glory and just get out of bed running after Jesus. And the more and more I make compromises in my relationship with Jesus the harder and harder it becomes to return to it. I want to know God, to find my pleasure in who he is.
