Moroseness is bound to overtake a person who never gets life's issues sorted out. If the effort put into complaining were devoted to the task, happiness would come with the success, and real joy would beexperienced while working toward the achievement. If I am constantly mumbling about what I have to do, I am robbing myself of the joy of the work. We all have problems, either we let them wipe us out or we grow by tackling them. A problem is another opportunity to seek wisdom and strength from the Lord so that we can solve it and go on.
Joyous people have problems as well as miserable people.
The only difference is what you do with the problems. Indecision destroys joy. If I have collected a lot of matters that should have been settled a long time ago, no wonder I am in a state of gloom. Identify the decisions, gather the necessary facts, make the decisions, and act upon them. Our greatest challenges to growth come through other people.
