Rev 2
“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.(Revelation 2:2-5 ESV)

the 2 main points for balance are:
Avoid loving God without labouring for Him
Avoid labouring for God without loving Him

It also point me back to what type of convert am I:
a work convert - God did some work for me, I am grateful, so I became a Christian
a miracle convert
a intellect convert
a feeling convert
a passionate love convert

I know God through intellect, but I should be a heart convert, a passionate love convert. Who is God to me?

God is not a boss, whom I strive to work well and labour for Him. And of course the balance is to labour for God, serve in my work place as a minister... and labour for the kingdom.

Labour for the doctrine, labour over deed and labour for the church.

It all begans with the heart and how it relates with God. Change and touch my heart...

Rev 2: 5 Remember, Repent and Redo
remember - from where you have fallen , when you have fallen out of love for God
repent - stop the wrong action, change the mind set and alter the attitude, then pursue back the Godly direction
redo - do the deed first, but based the doing from being with God. Spend time alone with God

As all, check my heart, change it as I desire myself to...
