So many of us will never find true healing and freedom from life controlling addictions, emotions, besetting sin, utter frustration, and all sorts of our personal woundedness because we are set in different levels of self-deception. Self-deception is a fortress against the call for real internal and external freedom! So many never find deep true and lasting transformation because they never really "own it."

Most everyone has personal Armageddons - great battles fought and won, fought and lost, fought and fought again. It is the place that wants to destroy my peace and joy and rob me of my value. For some it is fear, for others it is insecurities, lust, alcohol or drugs, a desperate need for affirmation, significance or love - all trying to get it from man and not God.

How do you lose your first love? You can lose your first love when you replace a kingdom mindset with religious tradition and personal preference. You can lose your first love when you lose your passion for and pursuit of God's presence. You can lose your first love when you become self-focused and not mission focused. You can lose your first love when your become overwhelmed with a wound or loss. And you can lose your first love when you begin to subtly make the Holy into something common.

How we respond to loss, heartache and grief may be the defining point in our lives. When life hits the wall - the big stuff - divorce, health issues, loss of loved ones. The life moments that take you out of cruise control, make you slam on the breaks, and you think, "This cannot be happening to me." Great loss can define you, it can rewire you, it can give you a new starting point - or it can drive you into a cave where there is no light.
