Instant Gratification

We are a society of instant gratification. How true is that for you personally?

We want so badly to connect with someone; to share our most intimate secrets with, to go places with or to just hang out with.
But before we can make any relationships, friendship or otherwise, work, we must first begin with a personal relationship with Jesus. We can talk all day long about how we know who Jesus is and about praying and even going to church, but are we craving the same aspects of a relationship with Him as we do with a fellow human being?

Man is ALWAYS going to let you down. Even your bestest bud in the entire world, will eventually let you down. You'll get angry with one another, one wrong word will be uttered or perhaps a promised date will be cancelled and suddenly, you're both at odds with each other. Man WILL fail you.
God will not.
So, the question is, will we develop that intimate deep relationship with Him? Will we talk to Him like we would our closest girl/boyfriend and share our most detailed secrets with Him?
It may seem silly to talk to GOD about the little things in life, but you know, I started doing just that... talking about everything and anything and you know what? It feels SO good! He understands when nobody does and He'll fill that void; that discontent we all feel sometimes when man isn't doing the job. Once we're experiencing the closeness of Jesus, all our earthly relationships will grow and blossom
It just takes time. It's not going to happen overnight, the fulfillment isn't just going to go BOOM and happen! We need to build that relationship and before we realize it, that void has been filled. Believe me, I've felt the discontentment, but I choose to rely more on the love given to me freely from Jesus, than the temporary love given by man.
