Life's Not Fair

How often do you hear someone say  "Life's not fair!"?  It's probably one of the most overused phrases that I can think of.  When I hear someone say it we want to quit being so dramatic, but who knows how good or bad their life is.  Everyone has their days, some more often than not but is it really fair of you to say that life's not fair?  Do you think you deserve better?  What would make life fair?

We complain about what we don't have and most of us don't have a lot.  You may not have a nice house or a nice car.  You may not be able to eat out at the luxurious restaurants.  You may not have both parents or even one parent.  You may not have a lot of friends.  You may not have nice clothes or name brand shoes.  For some, this list is longer than others

But take the time to think about what you do have.  For most of you, you have a roof over your head at night.  You have a car to drive.  You have money to pay for gas for your car.  If you don't have a car, you have legs to walk or you might even have a bike.  You have food in your refrigerator.  You have water to drink.  You have a cellphone.  You may not have the highest paying job but you have one.  If you don't have a job, you are getting food stamps.  You have the opportunity to get an education.  You have people that love you.  You have air to breathe.  You have more things than you can even imagine that we take for granted every single day.  This list could go on and on.

For those of you that may not have any of the above, we all have one thing.  It's free and all we have to do is accept it.  We have the opportunity to get to know God.  That is the one thing that no one can take away from us.  We can screw up over and over again and He's still going to forgive us.  He has the greatest love for us, all we have to do is accept it.  When we aren't having a good day, we can look to Him for comfort when there is no one else around.  He can give you everything that you need, all you have to do is ask.  He's a doctor that can provide us strength.  He's the one and only God that can do these things for you.  With Him, you need no one else.  He has ALL power.

So with all of this being said, life truly isn't fair.  All of us sin, we all judge, we all do things that we're not supposed to.  He forgives us.  We deserve so much worse but He gives us many opportunities.  The next time you hear someone say "Life isn't fair.", tell them that they're right and that they deserve much less than what they have.  We are blessed!!!! When you feel that nothing is going right for you and you don't know how you're going to make it...speak to Him, look towards Him and ask him for direction.  He's never going to steer you wrong, trust Him in all that's going on in your life.  He has the power to do whatever you need.  Humble yourself and He'll see you through it.

Be Blessed
