Complaining with a purpose?

Good morning,

I was speaking with a friend and they were venting about their recent troubles. When we were done talking I thought about being in the midst of it all. When in the midst of the storm all one seems to be able to think about is the problem. Most of the time there is no positive outlook. We are not able to see all that we have already come through. We don’t even try. I am not saying that their complaining bothered me. What I am saying is that we need to get into the habit of thinking how far GOD has brought us. Think about what HE did last week and the week before. Sooooooo, what makes you think HE won’t be there this week? Get your mind right! Focus on the victory ahead of you. When you vent do it with a fight. For every negative, chase it with a blessing. You have to remember whatever you are complaining about is insignificant to people that have less. Be glad that you have little problems and not big ones. Be JOYFUL that you have anthill problems and not mountains. Your problem is uncomfortable but you are strong……AND please remember the rain will not last forever. As hard as you meditate on all that could go wrong you should be able to focus on all that has already gone right! With all of this being said….. Pray about it OR worry about it but you shouldn’t do both. When you pray and then worry, you are asking but then closing the door on GOD’s help.

Practice, practice, practice getting your mind right……

AND remember you are in charge of your mind….it is not in charge of you.

MAKE IT GREAT
