Changes - Put it Gods Hand

Why do people complain and not want to change the things they complain about?

My pastor said that in his sermon one day. And I looked up and thought about myself. Do i complain I do. Then he goes on and he made this statement to the congregation.

He said "When you complain you will remain."

I thought hummm what does that mean. He continued on with his sermon but, I will sum up the short version for the sake of this blog. It means when you complain about the same things over and over again and not change those things you complain about you will remain in the same situation and nothing will change. It also means more negativity will come your way. Then you start to lose faith inself wondering will it change.

Now why would someone want to live a of negativity. Well imy opinion is you have to have faith. In God first and once u have faith in him he will give you the faith you need for yourself. Once you have those things in your life things will change for the better. But you also have to be willing to give up the negativity in whatever form it comes in. Yeah I know you thinking easier said then done. You and you alone have to want the change.

I had his sermon on my mind today. I have someone who is a friend and i want the best for him. The situation he is in is not the best but I love him and I care about him as a friend should. I just wish he would take the steps and change his situation. Its not healthy, cuse all the negativity he is feeling I am feeling why cuse I am his friend. So I am trying to help him change. I give him advice and like everyone says you can give all the advice you want but it is up to the person take it or not. I see him going through the same thing he just left. He doesnt see it but I do and he took steps to break that away. Thank god. I have faith in him that he will do the right thing and change back to the person I once knew. Now I am sitting here asking myself what should I do? How can I get him to change and see that he doesnt have to remain in that same situation. I just pray and ask God to guide him down the right path. God wont put on you more than he thinks you can handle. Trust I know from experience.

So now I have a knew saying Changes - Put it in Gods Hand and you won't remain the same you can change as long as you have faith.
