We live in
an age of instant gratification. None of us is immune. We want instant answers
to prayers. We want instant works by God. We want instant tangible physical
power from God. We definitely don't want to wait on God to do things in His
time. We definitely don't want to perspire to get what we want. We live and
want excess. We live and want to be pampered. We want a parent to look out for
our every need. It is time to grow up. Being grown up means we hold off on what
we want. Being grown up means we don't get what we want and we then go on and
do the job anyway. Being grown up means we sacrifice. Teaching a child to
sacrifice is one of the greatest lessons any parent can teach because there is
no progress in a person's life without sacrifice. No person, society, church,
organization, or social entity can endure without sacrifice.
