I get it, I get it, people go through so many difficult things and they think the appropriate response is to…well…COMPLAIN.

I’ve been there, we all have, and every once in a while I catch myself still doing it. But I made a commitment to myself years ago that I would not complain. It hasn’t been easy but it’s gotten easier

Why complain about things that you can change? Why complain and do nothing when you could do something and not complain?

The truth is whether it’s things in your control or not, it doesn’t do any good to complain about it. Your blessings far outweigh the difficult things in your life. Face it, you’re blessed! Don’t believe me? Start listing the good things in your life, one by one. Before you know it you’ll find yourself realizing just how blessed you are.

Today don’t give in to the temptation to complain rather give thanks and trust God. You will be a whole lot happier and you will shine like stars in the nights sky!

“Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.” Philippians 2:14-15

Blessings,

~John
