> I can relate to "losing my first love"... for it seems that it's far too easy to become complacent within my relationship with God, and to let other things (the tyranny of the urgent, or manmade traditions, or the pervasiveness of "group think"), replace my relationship with poor substitutions.

When I read the book called Revelation, it was revealed to me mysteries that were unbeknownst to me. The book has symbols that revealed to me what had happened to me in my life for the book's symbols were intertwined with what had been revealed to me in a Spiritual way.
I walked on that Sand and saw the Beast come out of the Sea. And while I was there, there was a Rider on a White Horse behind me that I saw when I fell down on the sand.
And the Sand was like fine powder and the waves of the Sea were troubled casting up deep sand and dirt. There was Rain and strong Wind beating down and there were piles of wood as far as I could see down the shore that were once houses that had fallen. I saw what looked like the remains of my House. My House had fallen onto the Sand. And then I saw the Beast come out of the Sea.
I turned to the Rider and He said to me, "Lou, rejoice when you fall, for a just-man falls 7 times and rises up again. To one's own Master, he stands or falls. When one falls, the beast will be revealed to them. For when you build your house upon the sand, the Winds and the Rain will come and beat upon the House and it will fall; and great will be the fall of it."
