Sometimes God will say, “Get to work! Stop waiting! You need to take these steps I’ve told you to take and then I will do what you want me to do.”
God doesn’t want you to be lonely. However, God wastes nothing. Even though God wants you to be satisfied in him, in a healthy community, and thriving in a godly relationship (if that’s his will), there’s often a process God will put you through rather than just magically ending your loneliness.
No matter what, you are all in with life. You can’t stop the clock. There’s no pause button. Every day, you are spending the resources God has given you. Whether you are sitting alone on your coach, traveling the world with a group of friends, or you are serving those in need, God will judge you on how you are spending the life he has given you.
Imagine that you work in a factory and one day your boss comes up to you and says, “I’m not going to give you the supplies you need anymore to make the products you are required to make. But, I’m still going to expect you to produce the same amount every day.” You are then forced to outsource what used to be provided for you. Obviously this would take a lot longer.
