Complaint or compliant?
Permalink  
 


Listened to guy complaining abt how bad people were treating him. After 45 mins. I said, Did you thank those people? God sends those difficult people to purify our characters. My softy friends nearly sent me to an early grave. It was a hard nosed man from India that crushed my self esteem about 21 years ago. I still thank that man with all my heart. He broke proud Gonee.
That is why ask myself whether I have a complaint to God or am I compliant to His will for me?

Aloha Gonee...of course it is compliant when I get the perspective right.  I am also
grateful for all of the sponsors who held up the light and opened the doors for me
and you gave me notice that when I stopped running God bumped into my back.

Grateful for this share.  (((hugs))) smile

I believe in the saying that when I am disturbed it has to do with something with me. 
My answer is to turn to HP, "What would my creator have me do".  If it is a boundary issue, where can I be more loving, in service to others, do I feel I am worthy?  As a child of god I am worthy just as is everyone else.  Many of us don't feel worthy of setting healthy boundaries, nor do we even know how to. 

We complain when we feel injustice has been committed towards us.  The only way for me out of this negative place is to trust in what my God has in mind for me and love others, some times from across the room.
