Today’s Gift #essentialsofrecovery

Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.

—Sir Rabindranath Tagore

In the darkness of early morning, the bird outside the window begins to sing. Soon the eastern sky turns pink. The bird continues singing until the first yellow rays warm its soft wings. Then it flies away, not returning to the window until the next morning.

We can learn from the small bird how to have faith. We don’t need to wait for something we want before having faith we’ll get it. We can begin to show our faith by celebrating the things we usually take for granted. After all, when we take something for granted, isn’t that a selfish form of faith? We can start by singing a song to celebrate the new day. A day that will warm our hearts and shed light on our actions. Like the bird’s faith in the sunrise, we need only to have faith that God meant each day to enrich our lives.

What faith can I celebrate right now?
