Have you ever telephoned a company's technical support number to get a problem solved? Well I did recently, but it didn't go very well...

Ring.... Ring.... Ring.... Ring... Ring... Ring... Ring...
Ring.... Ring.... Ring.... Ring... Ring... Ring... Ring...
Ring.... Ring.... Ring.... Ring... Ring... Ring... Ring...

Automated Answer (finally):

"Thank you for calling Technical Support."

"All of our technicians are currently busy helping people even less competent than you, so please hold for the next available technician."

Hold music... Hold music... Hold music... Hold music...

Ring... (All right! They must be transferring me...) Ring…

"The waiting time is now estimated at between 15 minutes and eternity. In order to expedite your call, please punch your 63-digit product identification number onto your telephone touch pad, followed by your product serial number, which can be found in a secret compartment inside your computer where, for security purposes, it is printed in the smallest typeface known to mankind. Do it now."

Sometimes it can feel that way when I'm talking to Jesus. But whenever I'm tempted to think of a communicational barrier between us, I remember that is the reason He died-so that you and I can have a right relationship with Him.

It seems obvious then that Christ wants our fellowship (so much that He died to restore it). Therefore, communication problems lie on my side, and not His.

Finally, I am comforted by Romans 8:26… In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And
he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

I'm thankful to have the opportunity to approach Jesus, the creator and sustainer of the universe (which means he's really powerful) whenever I want (not just whenever I have a need). He's the best friend to me and I hope you feel He's the same to you.
