For me Christian songs have a lot of the time gotten through to me through my stubborn rebellion more than what the most loving of Christians could for example Sanctuary real lyrics:
" if you get lost in your sorrows then you could hit rock bottom" that really helped me because as a melancholy introvert I'm naturally negative and for a long time it's a process I thought it was OK to wallow in self pity but using God's spiritual weapons and as in abings case and mine and yourselves is when through God's mercy I was able to become aware of those satanic lies strongholds in my mind and repent renew my mind and talk to my father about it spiritual awareness is key ask God for more of it and wisdom as the bible Says if we're lacking wisdom such as taking thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ and powerful anointed Christian lyrics that cut straight to the heart that speak to the spirit a cool thing about Christian songs is you can listen to them over and over and it builds your spirit.

One thing that has been very difficult for me to process and not get offended by is God can speak through anyone just not thru the Enemy prefably Christians I found it real tough to accept God speaking thru another Christian who is doing really sinful things but in my heart I knew God wanted to help me thru them I had to humble myself and still do.

Word master a friend of mine on CC confess the Word the opposite of negative thoughts and feelings. We have a awesome Savior if we didn't have a Savior Wed be stuck!

I've been about wondering what makes like interesting. Lately I've been losing interest in everything, even stuff I never thought I'd lose interest in. The same thing happened to me many years ago, but to a much greater degree and at that time it made me think constantly about suicide, but this time is much different.

Maybe it's because I've been through so much these last few years (being a full-time caregiver to my father who was dying of cancer, dealing with his passing, trying to take care of my elderly mom) that it has made me look at life in a totally new perspective, or maybe its part of my grieving process, or the fact that I have to stay strong for my mom, but this time it is not driving me to suicide. This time it's making me feel like I've come full circle, that I've been through the worst life has to offer and I made it through and now everything else is as King Solomon once put it, "just smoke and mirrors"..

But this isn't about me. I want to know what everyone's thoughts are on the subject..

What makes your life interesting? What do you think makes life interesting?

For some reason this thread reminds me of a song, "The really big news."

"I just read where congress passed new legislation
To help fund the cost of our kids' education
Cancer rate's down and the crime rate is rising
The Mets won, 6-0 (man, that game was exciting!)
The Dow Jones is up and the forecast is clear
And health care concerns are the focus this year...

But the really big news is my little boy Mike
Just learned how to ride his new blue bike
The really big news is the weekend is free
So we're planning a picnic with the whole family
And the big news is I took my sweet baby girls
To the mall to buy new ballet shoes
I know what's important in my world today
Cause I know the really big news

And when Mattie says "Daddy, come out and play"
Ah, there's no way I can refuse
Yeah I still read the paper (especially the sports)
But I know the really big news"

Life is more interesting if you keep your focus on the really big news.

(Pst, keep in mind loosing interest in things can be a sign of depression sneaking up on you)

What makes life interesting?
Hmmm.....

- Having a job where one feels useful / needed.
- A bit of variety ( not just routine), preferably both at work and in my spare time
- Learning new things, whether useful or not :p

I'd almost be willing to bet a month's income that Utah has not tested this theory at length.
Oh, I hope you actually place that wager. My brother and I painted part time together for years and listened to talk radio when we painted. We listened mostly to Rush Limbaugh and Bob Grant. We were so efficient in painting we usually ended up having down time waiting for the paint to dry. Listening to liberals call in to those talk shows and get schooled was entertaining to say the least. :)

Thank you all for the replies. <3 Some of them really helped me have some better insight. Especially the ones that reminded me about how much God loves us, but others helped too. God bless you all. :)

I enjoy my life when I spend my time to talk with Him.That's what make my life interesting. His disciples did it same.KJV.John 13;23-25,23.Now there was leaning on Jesus bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.24.Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.25.He then lying on Jesus breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

For me it would be friendships. The moments I cherish most are the great times I had with friends. But I find these times hard to come by.

I'm also going through a similar phase you did the first time round. I've really started to connect with the book Ecclesiastes. I think I kinda understand more how that guy felt. It's probably from going through a lot right now, and over the last four years (I won't go into detail as this post would be gigantic).

Because I live away from any family, I don't have a best friend, and I'm not in a relationship, I feel lonely a lot. I tend to struggle with getting really close to people. So when I do have those moments where I feel real joy being around my friends, and I end up laughing so hard it hurts, those are the moments that make life feel like maybe everything will be ok, at least for a moment.

Those moments make life interesting, and leave me with cherished memories.

I have seen many people in my church who was depressed and the Pastor ask them to attend bible study and church regularly to fulfil the human entity and spiritual entity - when this group of people did both they were no longer depressed.

Human entity is body needs food, spirit needs WORD of God and our soul needs love and remember the Spiritual entity Father, Son and Holy Spirit if you have these LIFE is fulfilled.
