Part of the problem lies in the deadly disease of<em>boredom</em>; but the deeper problem is <em>emptiness,</em> the inner emptiness that comes from loving or craving the wrong things, things that will never satisfy.<p></p><p style="text-align:justify">The Bible tells us boldly to love God with all your heart. You see, there is a special space in our hearts that only God can fill. Our souls are made in such a way that that they just cannot be happy with anything less than God.</p><p style="text-align:justify">God never meant life to be boring.
