Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as light in the world. 

Philippians 2:14-15

If there is one thing I don't like, it's complaining. I will admit I have done my fair share in the past, yet I look back now and realize it was wasted energy. Complaining does nothing good for anyone. Unfortunately it seems to be the main focus in everyone's conversation. It's easy to get sucked into a negative conversation...full of complaints about things and people. 

God did not call His children to to be whiners and have a negative attitude. He called us to be a light in the darkness. When you complain or engage in a negative conversation, it's like a dark cloud envelopes around you and whatever light exist in your presence is dimmed. Once you regulary engage in negative conversations, others look to you as reinforcement for their complaints and negative talk. 

Sometimes the best solution is to simply say nothing and walk away. God gives you just enough energy to power your light through the day. Don't drain it  on useless chatter. Be a light of encouragement and positive energy. Others feed off positivity, while negativity just reinforces the problem with no resolution. Stay bright today by avoiding the dark clouds of complaints and negative thinking. This world needs bright lights...shine for Him. 

God bless.
