Everything starts with a great relationship with God. Just as human relationships need to be cultivated and maintained, how much more my relationship with God. Why do I feel weak spiritually? LAZINESS has made me become dry. I use to be attentive and was passionate to read the Scriptures and Pray and Memorize. But the relationship becomes dull when you forget doing the things you once did at first. Just as in romantic relationships, people forget to be kind and loving when they are married for awhile. Same thing with God. God desires me to find him fresh in new ways everyday and have my love for him increase daily.

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments." John 14:15
