When you stop complaining, your misfortune stops.
Isaiah (136) When we stop complaining, our misfortunes stop (Isaiah 55:3-5)
< Be confident >
Selfishness is what you must come across when you trace the cause of your heart's hardship. If the 'willingness to receive' is greater than the 'willingness to give', the heart becomes more difficult. On the other hand, when a person looks the most beautiful, it is when the desire to receive changes to the heart to give. The conflict in the life of faith is ultimately due to selfishness. Selfishness makes people hate people with different thoughts and styles and makes people of other denominations laugh at you. The reason why gunfire does not stop where there are false religious people is because of selfishness.
A true believer adheres to the truth and practices love from a universal perspective. Even if you love God and your neighbor in the same way, your style and expression may be different. Conflicts and disputes can be resolved with an understanding mind. If you are faithful to your job in your place, you can live well with anyone. Acknowledge each other instead of complaining that others are not like you. The important thing is to humble ourselves before God.
Be confident. When you are confident, your mind expands. The reason why we can't forgive others so much is because we lack self-confidence. Live with confidence, understand and encourage others. There is no one in the world who does not need encouragement, and there is no one who cannot. You don't need anything big for encouragement. A word of warm thanks is enough.
< When you stop complaining, your misery stops >
Also, listen to the Word for confidence (verse 3). There are 32500 promises of blessings in the Bible. One way to receive that blessing is to 'live according to the Word'. Sometimes there are difficult things and difficult moments, but we can overcome all negative situations and hearts by living with the Word ahead. If we live by encouraging our neighbors with such a word-centered faith, we will surely overcome our failures and win.
Also, to build confidence, have a positive self-portrait that God has glorified us (vv. 4-5). Circumstances and destiny actually come from the heart rather than from outside. “What kind of attitude do you have?” is more important than “what kind of environment are you in?” Most of the great men lived extraordinary lives in ordinary circumstances. If you have such a positive self-portrait and go out with your dreams and visions, you will get great creative energy when your mind is tired.
One of the American football teams is the Dallas Cowboys. Until 1989, they were a junior team with an average annual record of 1 win and 15 losses, but they surprised people by winning the top spot in American football in 1993 and 1994 in a row. Coach Jimmy Johnson played a big role in helping the last team to become an invincible team.
He was a very ordinary saint who majored in psychology in college. He guided the players to always live authentically without coercion or abuse. He made me think of sports not as a tool to beat others, but as a tool to learn life. The things he hated the most were negative words and negative attitudes like complaining and resentment. In the end, under his guidance, the players' lives changed from negative to positive, eventually becoming an invincible team.
If the positive words that come out of a person's mouth are such a powerful force, how much more powerful can God's words be? Now, don't be disappointed that it's a little difficult, and try to really obey the Word and decide to live. Sometimes it feels good to see a majestic tree that soars into the sky in the mountains, but it is even more touching to see a tree that struggles to survive in a barren environment. When the trees grow and become clogged with rocks, they grow up avoiding the rocks, even by twisting their whole body. When you see such a figure, your heart becomes sober and your courage in life is challenged.
Of all the grasses in the world, the grass growing in the desert has the deepest roots. One day, a seed was blown away by the wind and fell into the desert, where it unexpectedly sprouted. Then, the roots have deepened as they dedicate their lives to a single drop of moisture to live there. It is shameful that the person who received the most grace complains too much compared to the way he goes down the roots with a firm will without complaining. As human beings, we cannot be completely free from complaints, but when we stop complaining as much as possible, our misfortunes end.
