RELATIONSHIP

It's cold in here. I'd turn the fireplace on but I'm not too good at that.
I'm chatting on facebook with a future student of Hillsong like my self.. wondering if we'll become friends.
I am also watching "F.R.I.E.N.D.S." on TV right now... but that's almost my point here.

Friends.

Why do we have them? Because life is all about relationships and sharing these experiences with people. Why do you think God made us? Because He wanted to love us and for us to love Him. That does sound almost too easy and simple.

We have love. We have joy. We have peace. We have language. We have hugs and embraces. We have texting. We have facebook.
To share with people.

I guess this Christmas season reminds me that "doing life" with others is so important.. we all long for relationship.. whether that be friendships or love or God. We long for it. We need it.

To satisfy that longing, you gotta get real with God. He knows you inside and out, but because He desires relationship, He desires your communication, too.

Talk to Him... about your frustrations, your desires, your hopes and dreams, your fears... even though He knows them, He still wants you to talk to Him.

When you get your relationship right with God first, everything else lines up perfectly.. but in His timing. Be patient. I promise it's worth the wait... for friends, for love.. for everything you need in your heart.

Prioritize your relationships.. put them in the RIGHT place, and everything will FALL into place.
