Stop Complaining

Philippians 2:14 reads: 

"Do all things without complaining and disputing."

In other words, stop being a whinge bag, arguing all of the time. When we act like this, we end up hurting:

* Yourself   Complaing leads to anger and depression

* God.         Complaining questions God's care for us; His character and His competence. We're 

                    basically telling God that, "You blew it Lord. You had Your chance to fulfil my demands

                    and You chose not to. (This is dodgy ground to place yourself on)

* Others.    Your words affect people around you and no one wants to spend time with a moaner.

                    Complaining changes nothing. You explain your pain for no gain and raise your blood

                    pressure too.

                    Perhaps you didn't start out as a complainer; you became that way. but by God's Grace 

                    you can become a thanks-giver.

                    Stop the habit of complaining  - NOW! "Don't use foul or abusive language . Let 

                    everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to 

                    those who hear them." Ephesians 4:29    New Living Translation

Watch what comes out of your mouth. Sometimes the mouth can erupt when we're not in control of it, especially when one is driving. If you're anything like me, I own the road and feel others shouldn't be on it. But I've had to learn to share this and Zip my Lip.

Have you got a short fuse? Perhaps now is the time to sort it out and bring this to Jesus.
