patience

Patience, it is one of those things we aren't born with because when we want something we want it now. Why is this? because of our selfish desires that are sin.

When we talk to God our first expectaition is that we will get an answer immediatelly, we also think that we will always hear from him but that is not the case.

Relationships are something we have to work at. whether it be with a boy or with any of your friends. We have to get to know them, understand them, know what they are doing with their lives, and what their dreams are. Without knowing this you don't really know the other person. This is the same with God. If I were to say that Jesus was my best friend I had better know everything about him just like he knows everything about me. but do I? do I really know everything he does, what his dreams are, and what he is doing. How would I know this if I don't see him? Haven't you heard of the Bible, the holy words from God's own mouth? We think of Christ as a person to request things from but that isn't all he deserves. He deserves our respect our worship and our praise. If your friend were to write a book wouldn't you be the first one to read it? Of course because you would want to know what your friend was doing. So why don't we dig into the Bible? are we to busy? is it not interesting? This is where we fall. We need to be in the word learning more about our savior.

So the next time you feel like God is absent, go to the word and find an application from what you read because that will be how you learn more about your friend, and hear from him because he is all that matters
