Life's Not Fair; God is
David snatched Bathsheba away from her husband, and sent him to the battlfield to be killed. Yet God blessed David so abundantly. "God are You out of Your mind? What You doing down here??" Jacob snatched away his brother's birthright and totally con his dad, yet God blessed him abundantly.
Ok maybe i got my Bible stories wrong, but even then, some things in the world today seem totally unfair. Some people just seem to have it all. Innocent people are dying. And it's unfair why my dad has to go through the sianess when he's alone here, while some just strike lottery and shake leg at home. And most selfishly, i see what others have and complain about what i lack.
A guy goes back to his home country after a few years, and his family is waiting for him at the airport. He misses them so much and can't wait to give them a big hug. So he walks along, eagerly looking out for his family. And finally; he sees them!! He runs toward them, ready to embrace his wife and his kids. His wife gave him a BIG hug. Then he turned to his kids. They were rummaging through his luggage. " Daddy, Daddy! What did you buy for us?" He tested them and said," I got an entire set of Power Rangers for Tom and...a powerpuff girl for Jerry." Jerry was jealous, and they began fighting.
In the car, Dad said," Boys you know how much I love you both. I was so eager to see you and give u a hug and tell you how much i missed and love you. But the first thing you did was to find out WHAT I COULD GIVE YOU. And you guys didn't even say THANK YOU. What i wanted was your love! But you came to find me because of the gifts i could give you and not because you really love me."
The boys cried. What did the Father do? Nothing. He just continued loving them.
Maybe I've failed to realise that we already have the best reward of all, and that is Jesus Himself. And this reward is opened and availible to everyone. Now that's fairness. Maybe I really haven't been living for Him after all. I've forgotten that IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM. Maybe I've always been seeking Him because of what He can give me, and not because I love Him.
But what does our Father do? He just continues lovin us.
Jesus You are my Reward
To hear Your voice on that day
It's all I'm living for
Jesus You are my Reward
To see Your face on that day
It's all I'm living for
Life's unfair? Think again.
