In general people will write about their feelings and
really express themselves. Then you get those who lies up a storm and people
think it’s their own writing and then there are those who complains about
things or people and makes it sound so awesome because they actually putting
their feelings on paper. Well, that person is Leslene(ME), at least when I start
writing it’s about complaining, but then Holy Spirit comes and changes my mind
and I really hate it at times because my permission was not given.
I want to complain about people. I want to write about
friends who just dropped me. I want to write about people disrespecting me. I want
to write about my husband doing this and doing that and not to mention my kids.
The list just goes on an on.
Then God says “Leslene, I have delivered you from all the
complaints. Why do you want to circle that mountain again?”
Leslene: “yes but God……” we would then have this whole
dispute, until I give up and decide I don’t like being a Christian anymore
because God takes too long to send new people into my life. Or, God takes too
long to answer my complaints. Well, COMPLAINTS is what they are.
Have you ever been there?
Then God would even throw in a scripture or two. He just
never stops because He knows what is best for me.
Philippians 2:14-15
Good News Translation (GNT)
14 Do everything without complaining or
arguing, 15 so that you may be innocent and pure as God's perfect children, who
live in a world of corrupt and sinful people. You must shine among them like
stars lighting up the sky,
I have learned to deal with certain issues in my life
which obviously come and go, but what I can tell you….when they do come, I don’t
meditate on the issues. I move on…I pray…I keep myself busy with things that
add value to my life and especially to others.
I want to leave a powerful truth today. It worked for me
and it will surely work for you. God has given us the tongue of the learned
that we should KNOW how to speak a Word in season to those who are weary (Isaiah
50:4) and definitely not complain all the time.
Deuteronomy 1:6-8
New International Version (NIV)
6 The Lord our God said to us…, “You have
stayed long enough at this mountain. Break camp and advance….to the land … See,
I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the Lord
swore he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their
descendants after them.”
STOP COMPLAINING, MOVE, TAKE POSSESSION and ENCOURAGE!!!!!
In His love
Leslene
