Are you struggling to open your Bible every day? It can be a difficult thing to get in the habit of doing. But I've got something that will change your life: even two mere minutes a day with Jesus will deepen your days and make you feel complete and loved.

I know how hard it can be to find time, especially for all the college students out there. Our school and "home" lives are blended together. We balance everyday activities like laundry and cooking around doing our homework and studying. When I was in high school, I would do devotionals before bed, but now that I'm scrambling to get everything done in college, it's easy to just crawl into bed after cramming for the presentation the next day.

Nonetheless, two minutes a day will not only start your day off on the right foot, but connect you to our loving Creator who wants to know us and wants us to know Him.

Read a couple of verses, as you wait for your toast to finish toasting. Pray for your blessings and for those around you while you butter your toast. Getting to know our Creator is something that we need to do; we exist to freely love Him, and the best way to do that is to devote some time to Him every day, even if it is only a couple minutes during your breakfast.

Want some recommendations on where to start reading in the Bible? Here are a few great books to start with:

• Romans

• 1 Corinthians

• Proverbs

• Genesis

• 1 Peter

Try spending five minutes with Christ each day this week. You'll start to make it a habit and want to learn more about Him.
