Paul shows us that complaining actually gives place to the enemy in our lives because he thrives in an atmosphere of complaining.

GUIDANCE: Dancing with God ~ via ChristianForums.com [+]

The Christian life is not one of passivity. Instead, it’s a life that is sought after with passion and perseverance. A life that will bring spiritual winters but will inevitably bring seasons flooded with optimism, harmony and balance.
