"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

If it is the will of God that we should give thanks in everything, then we should reduce our complain lest we go against His will. COMPLAINING IS CONTRARY TO THANKSGIVING.

In Heaven, there will not be a shadow of complain , Thanksgiving will be all our work, and the work of everybody in Heaven. Let us give thanks to God all the time and reduce our complains. "Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10).

When we are overwhelm by any affliction, we should complain as little as we can, and should always be able to say "that our complaint is not greater than our stroke" (Job 23:2)
