In the Book of Revelation, Jesus admonishes the church of Ephesus...
Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee,
because thou hast left thy first love.
I always heard this taught, that we must go back and conjure up the feelings and fire and zeal for God when we first were saved, and on fire for God. I do not disagree that we can easily let the fire and zeal slip from our lives by cares, struggles, distractions that seem to chokes us and draw us away.
BUT how do we return to the "first love"?
Answer!
By realizing what the "first love" is!!!!
One day I saw it!!!!

The works and fruit will follow and come forth effortlessly.

Then "His love" is birthed in us!!
The knowledge of Gods love to you is the key to this amazing scripture!
