Times of Loneliness and Boredom

    Times of loneliness and boredom are times meant to be with God. These two feelings are indicators that we need to spent time hanging out with God. Our souls are lonely and it wants to be with someone great, it wants to interact with someone that will blow our minds and gives us a time of our lives. We are not satisfied with just anyone; we need more, we need someone that is supernatural, someone all powerful, someone that, when we are face to face with will bring us to our knees in worship.

Boredom lets us know that we can no longer be entertained by the things around us, we need something real and tangible, we need the one true real God, the living God that created us for His purpose. We are no longer interested in the things of the world. We are not happy with the material things. We are discontent, we are not happy with just keeping ourselves busy, because that doesn’t settle the boredom. Keeping oneself busy does not cure boredom. Fulfillment in being with God does.

Loneliness and boredom is God’s ways of calling us to be with Him. He is calling us to spend time with Him. He wants to talk with us, sing and dance with us, play, laugh and smile with us. He wants to go on dates with us. He wants to saturate our lives with Himself. He wants to show us marvelous secrets and mysteries. He wants to pour all of Himself in us. He wants to sit with us and hold us. The lover of our soul just wants to love and be with us. That is the heart of God. And we all hear His heart when we are lonely and bored. We don’t know that it is him calling, but eventually we will know and when we finally realize that it is Him calling, we will respond in excitement because at this moment, we are filled with purpose and companionship that our souls long for. Now, every time you feel lonely or bored, know that it is the God of heaven and earth calling you to be with Him; calling you to experience something great and authentic only He can provide. The God of love, the lover of your soul is drawing you to Himself.

Now, what you do when you are with Him is the surprise and pleasure. He reveals things like never before. We come back full of life and joy. We are excited about living and the things God has for our lives.

The quiet, dull moments of life shouldn’t discourage us, it should excite us because God has set aside a time like today and everyday for us and him to be together; a time today for us to talk and enjoy Him. What a wonderful time to drink from the well of life when I am thirsty for life and get filled with life abundantly.

I am refreshed.
