I have come to realize that most often than not, we do more of complaining. The most comfortable and convenient thing to do, when we are going through life issues, is complain. When we lose loved ones, we complain. When we lose our jobs, we complain. When we go through rejection, we complain. When we seem to be encumbered, the easiest thing to do at those times my friends is to complain.

One of my discoveries about complaining is that it creates a negative atmosphere for bad situations to thrive. The more you talk about a bad situation, the more they are magnified. Sometimes we go so far that we even miss the path to the solution.

I have also realized that we complain to get sympathy. We try to make people believe it was not our fault that we are going through what we are going through. At some of those times, the people we complain to seem not to care. It really may not be that they do not want to show care, but they also have things they are dealing with. Not to sound mean, but just know that people do not owe you to care. So when you complain and it is as though no one cares, do not get distraught, just know they do not owe you to care.

When life throws darts and arrows at you, do not resort to complaining, just locate the bright side. I have emphasized on this series that the things we go through are not meant to destroy us (except we let them), but they are designed to make us better. One key to coming out better after the process is to look on the bright side. This helps you draw positive energy to go through the process. Rather than complain, look on the bright side.

My father is a clergyman. As a consequence, we lived mostly in parsonages. Even if I wanted to, I could not evade religious activities. I grew up getting acquainted with religious activities, to the point where I became bored and wanted to try out something new. I found a way out, or so I thought. I did exceptionally well in the Federal Entrance Examination for a chance to be admitted into any of the Federal Government Colleges in Nigeria. We (myself and a few other classmates of mine who also succeeded in the entrance examination) were given orientation on how tough and rough life can be there, but we did not mind. I particularly did not let the orientation border me because I needed a life devoid of religious activities.

My hopes of a break out was short-lived when my father told me I was to seat for the entrance examination for a seminary school owned by my maiden church. I wrote, passed and was admitted with scholarship for the first academic session. It was nothing that I desired, but God was taking me through a process. I may not be able to tell what would have become of me had I refused to forgo my chance of a break out to attend a seminary, but I can tell you now that my life did not turn out worse. I may not be there yet, but I am grateful God took me through the process that made me who I am today.

Friends, when God takes you through a process, it’s all for your good. The process does not have any guarantee for luxury, but it will surely make you better. The process will not destroy you, but it will distinguish you. There is always a story attached to every glory. Do not give up on God, stay on, it will end in glory.

“During this time now, we have troubles and pain. But I am sure that these troubles are not really very important. They are not really very important because God has prepared much, much better things for us. He is keeping these great and good things for us. And when we think about these great things, our troubles now do not seem important” Rom. 8:18 (EEV).

Almost everyone have had to ask this question one time or another. Some people are still asking this question. It would not be surprising to know that you are also asking this question. It is a common, but not exclusive, question amongst Christians. Like I said, life can throw things at you that makes you question the validity of your faith. At those points in life, one of the questions we ask is “why me?”.

Most often than not, we ask this question when we feel a sense of injustice in our lot. When we feel we do not deserve what life is bringing our way, or better still, we deserve more than life is giving us, we ask this question. When you look around you and conclude that there is no moral or logical justification for the ugly things that you are going through, you ask this question.

Friends, the answer to this question is not farfetched. It is because you are going through THE PROCESS. My dear, nothing valuable comes easily. The path to greatness is not a walk in the park, it is a process. You may not like it, but you have to go through it.

The next time you want to ask that question, just remember that you are going through that thing because there is greatness in you and this greatness can only be actualized through THE PROCESS.  

“Because he knows the road on which I travel, when he had tested me, I’ll come out like gold” Job 23:10 (ISV)

I will still reiterate this: whatever you are going through is a process God is taking you through. He knows what is best for you and He will make you better for it.
