When you talk to God, it changes you.

It’s humbling, really. When you consider the entire universe, the billions of stars and people, the noise and activity that never end . . . and He chose YOU! The Creator of everything made you, died for you, and wants a relationship with you.

Life comes with question marks. But we need not fear; God is faithful.

Living with an attitude of gratitude just makes life better.
