不要埋怨
弟兄们，你们不要彼此埋怨，免得受审判。看哪，审判的主站在门前了。
雅各书5：9
让你不开心的事情总是一个接着一个，对吗？ 你朋友朝你发脾气，坏了你一天的心情；老板给你的活儿没完没了；开车路上被人加塞；有人让你失望了；别人该给你的没有给你，不该给你的你却要承受。
心情沮丧的时候，往往就会怨天尤人，发泄自己的不满。对朋友、家人、老板感到不满，是很正常的。但是将这种不满变成对他人满腹牢骚、说长道短，就显得心胸狭窄。
有一种更好地办法来处理对别人的不满。祷告、 深呼吸。别人的粗鲁是别人的事情，不要让它反映在你的身上。抱怨只能使你的心空虚和烦恼。让耶稣来充满你的心。
今日祷告：
主耶稣，让我不要心存抱怨，而要心怀满足。阿们。
June 15 – Grumble
Don’t grumble about each other, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. For look—the Judge is standing at the door!
JAMES 5:9
There is a lot to complain about, isn’t there? Maybe your day has been disrupted by a friend’s grumpiness. Maybe your to-do list is getting longer because your boss keeps giving you more and more to do. Maybe someone cut you off while driving to work this morning. Maybe somebody let you down. Maybe you didn’t get something you thought you should have gotten from your friend. Or maybe you got something you didn’t think you should get from someone.
Complaining about someone else is our bratty way of venting our frustrations with others. Being frustrated with friends or family or bosses is not necessarily a bad feeling to have; in fact, it is quite normal to be frustrated with others. But turning that frustration into a kind of venting gossip or passive-aggressive attack displays a sour heart.
There is a better way of handling your angst with others. Pray about it. Take a deep breath. Realize that someone else’s rudeness reflects upon them, so don’t let it echo off of you. A heart that grumbles is a heart that is empty. Fill your heart with Jesus instead.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, change my grumbling heart into a fulfilled one. Amen.
