Christians may assume Heaven is boring because their lives are boring. That’s not God’s fault; it’s their own. God calls us to follow Him in an adventure that should put us on life’s edge. He’s infinite in creativity, goodness, beauty, and power. When we experience the invigorating stirrings of God’s Spirit, trust Him to fill our lives with divine appointments, and experience the childlike delights of His gracious daily kindnesses, we’ll know that God is exciting and Heaven is exhilarating. “Happy is the man who fears the LORD, taking great delight in His commands” (Psalm 112:1, HCSB).
This made me think of something my daughter said at a women's conference two weeks ago. She wondered if the Holy Spirit got bored waiting for us to step up our prayers.
"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" (Ephesians 3:20)
Do I pray believing this? If I did I would never be bored and neither would the Holy Spirit within me.
Oh may it be thus.
