Learn the lesson of the Salmon  -

  A Salmon must return to the stream where it was spawned  - or die trying. It cannot mate - it cannot  bear fruit  - anywhere else.

   We too, if we wander, if we stray, from the river of God's Spirit  - from the Holy Spirit's presence   - wherein we were "spawned" (born)  - must return  to whence we came from  - or we will die. And we cannot bear Him fruut, apart from Him. It is only in His presence that His presence can be in us. We must abide there  - in that river, that mighty river. 

   Built into each of us, spiritually,  is the path home. If we'll choose it.

"NEVERTHELESS,  I HAVE SOMEWHAT AGAINST THEE, BECAUSE THOU HAST LEFT THY FIRST LOVE"

"RETURN TO ME AND I WILL RETURN TO YOU" says The Lord. 

 Your first love is calling out to you  -

 "Who does your heart belong to? "

  "Where is it your heart flew?"

  "oh My love

         come back to

                   the love

                        you once knew"

"Return, oh return to Me,

     and I'll return to you       gladly

Unlearn, oh unlearn  -

  the fruit of that rebellious tree

        and I'll rejoice 

        at your choice

             to forsake the call of your flesh

              that lrads you to your death"

"I'll forgive 

  every kiss

     you gave to another. 

 Remember this  -

     each new tryst

          with each new lover

could never satisfy

what only I

was meant to give"

"Come back to Me,

   that you may live"
