(Writing this through an ocular migraine so I hope it makes sense. No pain but I can barely see at this point to edit. The first time this happened I thought I was having a stroke “lol.” Drink your water, kids!)

Humans are faulty af…

… by nature. We’re selfish. We’re terrible listeners. We lie. We doubt. We can be completely full of shit at any given moment; talking out of both sides of our mouth.

We steal. We cheat.

We hurt ourselves, and each other.

We have short memories for the good times, but hold onto grudges like they’re worth gold.

We throw away decent people when they don’t produce a desired feeling within us, instead of cultivating that feeling from within through a relationship with our Creator.

We’re easily bored; even with the entire world, literally on demand, at our fingertips.

You have a Bible - the Word of God - and you’re bored? It’s like Lord of the Rings, but real. It’s fascinating and talks about things that are yet to come. It’s fun to ponder how things might play out. Contemplating the fate of humanity is exorbitantly better than worrying about your own life.

All that to say… if you’re bored, you’re boring. Stop complaining and pick up a book. You might learn something.

Lastly, if you have a hole in your heart, disguised as boredom, I can tell you what’s missing without ever meeting you. It’s God. You miss Him. You miss being in His presence so much, that you choose to pretend that He doesn’t exist. You look right past Him.

How pissed would you be as the Creator of all life, making the sun rise and bees buzz in order to provide food to all humankind, and you keep hearing “I’m bored” as Your creation doom scrolls.

However, it’s worth noting that humans are also faulty by design. We can use free will to turn to the One who made us. He gave us freedom of choice. He believes in us - that we can overcome.

It’s crazy how much faith He has in us.
