Remember it is a growth process and it doesn't happen overnight. There is no "instant" fix to what God wants accomplished in you. Take is slow, one step at a time and you will daily reflect His work in you. God is always here within to help in the times of trouble, we can count on it, through "thick and thin", and He will never leave us nor forsake us, but will always be with us. NOTHING can separate us from His love. Let the Love shine through you and don't put anything in that stream that could hinder the flow. Do not complain about anything at all, what could we possibly have to complain about? God Almighty Himself has made a permanent residence in our hearts! Think about it! PHILIPPIANS 2:14,15
(KJV)
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
(Way)
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world Do it all without mutual fault-findings, without disputing, that you may show yourselves blameless, uncontaminated, irreproachable children of God, in the midst of a society morally warped, spiritually perverted, amongst whom you shine out clearly, like stars in the world's sky,
(Cressman)
Do everything without grumbling or quarreling about it. In that way you will feel clean and good. You will be God's good sons living among the bad people. Among them you will shine like lights in the world.
(Johnson)
Live your live without complaining and arguing, so that you will be in practice children of God that you really are—without guilt, hostility, and criticism. Then, in the midst of a nation full of guilt and hostility, you will shine like a floodlight on a dark night.
(Hudson)
do all [you do] without grumbling or bickering; and so show yourselves blameless and transparent, unblemished children of God in the midst of a warped and perverse population, among whom you shine as stars in a [dark] world
(Parker)
Do all things without murmurings and without disputings that you may be without blame and harmless, showing yourselves to be true sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and obstinate world
