Not Fair

The phrase ‘Not fair’ is one we have all said or heard often enough and we have our reasons for it. Well sadly, life is unfair. It doesn’t always give us what we believe we deserve and it often leaves us wonder, “Why is life so unfair?” It’s worth a thought that no matter how highly we may think of ourselves, deep down we are flawed and self-centered and this life is just a reflection of our nature. In a court of law, any ruling can only be deemed fair based on the final judgement by the judge. So, can our criteria of fairness be short-termed?

Even though our life situations may seem unfair at times, they do not necessarily stop us from living our lives well. We may either sulk over them and crib saying, “Why is life so unfair?” or we can face the challenges head on and be overcomers. The choice is ours, but only the latter will make us stronger and bolder to take on life’s challenges. Also, we will end up being an inspiration to others.

We certainly do have a deep yearning for a fair world. All of us have an instinctive sense that somehow, the world isn’t as it was created to be. Well, yes, the Bible says that God created a perfect world, marred by humankind’s free choice of evil. But eventually, God promises to restore it to an uncorrupted and fair place. We can become a part of that restoration plan if we come into a relationship with him and live a life of trusting him.
