I know that I do a lot of grumbling and questioning so that when others look at me they would think that I was just like them. I do not show the good side of God's love. I used to hear that when they would make pottery they would take it out of the oven and if it made a thud then they would put it back into the oven. If it came out making a lovely sound then they would know that it was done. I have heard that God does the same for us. If he takes us out of the trial and we are moaning and groaning he puts us back into the fire. I know that if I was God I would hate to hear from me. I am glad that he is much better then I am.

2:14 Do all things without grumbling or questioning, 2:15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 2:16 holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

Philippians 2:14-16 RSV

Every day I wake up and say out loud " Today is a day filled with new mercy and new grace and I get to embrace it with a great attitude". I say this and I make my children say it and all those around me get to hear it as well...I Can not "fix" or change anything or any one, I have no control over anything that does or does not come my way, I only have control over my respose. As a child of the living God He has already given me the okay to embrace it with a good attitude. Even if I am in the midst of a storm God is with me- He said I can "rejoice for my steps are ordered", I gave my day to Him and all I have to do is follow where He leads me, I don't have to "understand" it. It was not my day, I gave it to him! I don't have to grumble or even question when I give my day to God, my only job is to say "I will rejoice and go forth in the Lord of hosts for He has conquered all my foes by His name." "Today is a new day filled with new mercy and grace and I will embrace it with a great attitude!"
I too am soooo Glad that God is better than I. Is it not such an awesome gift that we have to seve such an incredible God!!!

It's a process John. I know how you feel because I've been in the oven many, many times. My attitude before i was saved was awful, awful, awful. And it is getting better but I'm not exactly Mary Poppins. I don't think I ever will be. I grumble a lot. I was grumbling today over something totally meaningless. But my heart is turning more grateful, and that's what is important. Let God love you and you will be able to pour it onto others :)
