For me, having faith in God is a daily struggle. Some people seem to be gifted with strong, unshakeable faith, and they’re on fire for Jesus where you can just see God’s love in their entire being. They carry joy inside themselves and it’s so noticeable, it draws you to them like a moth to a flame.

I know it should be a given, but starting one’s day with God first thing in the morning should be second nature for every Christian. This morning was the first morning in a long time that I have taken the time to talk to God before starting my day. We give all kinds of excuses why we can’t take a few minutes to pray, read a few verses from the Bible, or simply talk with God and, you know, this morning I realized it doesn’t take much at all.
