Jeremiah 31:25
For I will satisfy the weary soul,
and every languishing soul I will
replenish.
You have
been on a long, uphill journey, and your energy is almost spent. Though you
have faltered at times, you have not let go of My hand. I am pleased with your
desire to stay close to Me. There is one thing, however, that displeases Me:
your tendency to complain. You may talk to Me as much as you like about the
difficulty of the path we are following. I understand better than anyone else
the stresses and strains that have afflicted you. You can ventilate safely to
Me, because talking with Me tempers your thoughts and helps you see things from
My perspective.
Complaining
to others is another matter altogether. It opens the door to deadly sins such
as self-pity and rage. Whenever you are tempted to grumble, come to Me and talk
it out. As you open up to Me, I will put My thoughts in your mind and My song
in your heart.
Philippians 2:14-15
Do all things without grumbling or disputing,
that you may be blameless and innocent,
children of God without blemish in the
midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in
the world.
