PM#0523 Complaints? -- Not Understood?



PM#0523
Complaints? –Not Understood?

When you have a complaint, there is usually a cause. 

When you are not understood, it triggers something in you that the action by the other person is not right.  It may be that you were ignored, or the other person does not understand the need you have.   What is happening is causing a hurt to you. 

What should we do?  First you should exam the reasons behind the hurt.  An old Indian saying was: ‘Do not criticize another, until you have walked in their moccasins.’  As you examine those hurts, give them to the Lord.   The Lord knows how to guide you through His word.  It may be that you need to go to the other person, or it may be that the Lord wants you to focus on Him. 

Consider asking God’s help with a prayer like this:  Father, there is a hurt in my heart that needs your help.  Thank you for helping.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.  

All of us have complaints, and sometime we are not understood?
Listen to the Attached Video, then consider the following reflection questions:
How many times do we try to resolve things on our own?
Are there times where we have been hurt?  -- and our focus was not correct?
Consider helping others by sharing what the Lord did to help you resolve a complaint--scripturally.
