let's clear some things up

heyo ppl, thanks for all the comments on the tag board about my devotion... im realli glad that you guys are thinking about my devotion and i also hope that the word of God would sink into us... Moreover, it also shows the depth and maturity that we have progressed and thus i am also challenged to prepare more for my future devotions...

as said in my tag reply, the context of this passage is u read v.16 would be in terms of our service to God and our reponsibilities (so i hope that clears the air about some stuff)...

lets define complaining then : (based on a dictionary and i challenge u to check it) would be the expression of disatisfaction and it ends just like that. However, (as both DH and JK pointed out) if its with the intention of improvement, i would then classify it as constructive criticism... If we comment about something, with the right spirit and tone, with the hope of further improvement i guess u cant count that as complaining ba ;) Moreover the Bible also talks about the people of God "sharpening" one another and i guess that can only be done through the above mentioned method...

so i guess JK, i dont think treat you tag post as a complain la cos u also wish to clarify with me and make me "sharper" and more effective in my service to God and to BB...

and to DH example of the sucky teacher, well i suggest why not you go do something about it and not complain? hahahahs

lets admit it : ITS HARD NOT TO COMPLAIN and as DH phrased it so correctly "i go insane". even for me i find it very hard not to complain. An example would be teaching target lesson (truthfully) cos i think why give me the most boring lesson of all to teach? lol

I guess that is where God comes into the picture to empower us not to complain. Based on our own human strength, its virtually impossible for everyone, myself expecially... That's where we need God to change our mindsets and give thanks ;) I think I really needed God to help me teach target lesson too... I mean I could come up with all sorts of excuses like "oh school is coming so must enjoy la", or "last time is sec4 teach, why not give them teach" or "posting coming out on friday la, no mood" etc... I thank God that He changed my mindset and now im trying to make it more interactive and fun (see the improvement part u guys talk about) and am currently doing their notesheet for the sec1s...

summing up, its the INTENTION that matters that truly define wads complaining ba... also we need GOD to help us not to complain anf give thanks in everything and SHINE LIKE STARS

yups i hope that i have managed to clarify your doubts ;) tag again if u guys have more questions for me ;) thanks for being honest and truthful...
