Just read this:
That was the problem of the Christians in Ephesus- they had left their first love.They did all the right things, but out of duty, not love. If you've just been going through motions spititually, dont be surprised when God allows pain in your life. Pain is the fuel of passion- it energizes us with an intensity to change that we dont normally possess. C.S Lewis said pain is God's megaphone. It is God's way of arousing us from spiritual lethargy. Your problems are not punishment; they are wake up calls from a loving God. God is not mad at you, He is mad about you and will do whatever it takes to bring you back into fellowship with Him. God told the captives in babylon, "When you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, i'll make sure you wont be disappointed."
