TOTD, Nov.19

The Destructive Power of Words

Complaining, grumbling words carry destructive power. They destroy the joy of the one doing the complaining and can also affect other people who have to listen to them.

Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining [against God] and questioning and doubting [among yourselves].
--- Philippians 2:14


My own reflection on this Thought:
* Complaining and grumbling. These two activities are mostly the major things to do, especially we're in trouble. When we got a problem, we tend to speak about it all over again. Then we might feel that we got peace from speaking and complaining.
But actually, it's the other way around. When we're complaining, we lost the joy.
Well, we're all complainers, I guess. We complain almost about everything. But the most important thing is trying to avoid complaints. Pray more and seek God more when we're in trouble. (-fon-)
