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!!!!
1Jn 4:19  We love him, because he first loved us. 
The "first love" is  GODS LOVE FOR US!!!
Many try and work to show God and earn His Love. But all you need to do is receive the love God has for you and you will be transformed into a fruit bearing, believer!
The works and fruit will follow and come forth effortlessly.
How?

Rev 2:5  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works....
First, Repent!
Repent is  Re=Back, pent = top,  Back to the Top!!!
Go back to the top! by realizing the love He has for you today!!!!
When we realize the depth and love God first has for us, even when we didn't care two red cents for Him.
Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Many have lost their "first love", by forgetting the love God has for them!

Joh 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Again NOT that we love Him,  BUT he FIRST loved us!
1Jn 4:10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Just Saying you love God = big whoop.
We do not impress God with our love towards Him. We impress God when we believe and receive His love towards us!
Then "His love" is birthed in us!!
The knowledge of Gods love to you is the key to this amazing scripture!

Eph 3:19  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
The revelation of Gods love to us first,  will birth a fullfilled life, of the fullness God!
Think of being filled with all the fulness of God!
Only with this love birthed in us can we truly love others
This is were it starts!!!!!
Return to the First Love!!! His Love to YOU!
Receive that Love now, today!
The fruit of love, peace, joy, strength, love, power and all you could ever dream or hope for will follow.
