Life is Unfair

[Daily verse and quote]

“During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions

with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death,

and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.”

Hebrews 5:7-8

 

Life is unfair: The righteous suffer while evil men prevail.

Innocent children are victims of war and flood,

while piggish dictators ravage their people for personal gain.

Good people get cancer and the brutish often live in wealth

and enjoy good health into old age.

Who are we to say what is fair or unfair?  Whatever God wills is fair, just, and righteous.  Adam walked away from God, and all of mankind was in him.  Mankind has brought all pain and suffering on itself.  Satan, who deceived Adam, and mankind in him, won a temporary victory, that made him the prince of this world.  Nothing good comes from him.  Should anyone be surprised that there is evil in this world?  God is not the author of evil.  We are.  Whenever we walk away from him.

God wants us to be with him.  He always has.  He created all of us from Adam to generations yet unborn, to be with him, and be blessed by him.  But if we walk away from him, and his blessings, he will allow it.  He gave us free will in his own image.

God is merciful but just.  The wages of sin are death.  That is just, whether we like it or not.  God defines right and wrong, and the consequences of each.  Fortunately, the mercy of God is freely available to anyone who will receive it, through Jesus Christ.  Jesus saves us and defeats the prince of this world.  He is the gift of God to us.

Those who find Christ will still suffer in this life.  But they will have the inner peace, and Spirit infused strength to overcome this world, and its short shelf life prince. The heavenly rewards that await them are eternal and beyond measure.

Mat 5:. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

The poor and suffering of this world, who are in Christ are already comforted by the the Comforter/Spirit of God, and will be rewarded greatly in heaven.  In this life, the poor and sufferring are God given opportunities for the rest of us to help them, as Jesus did when he walked the earth.

I believe the God has the perfect plan from the foundation of the world to bring the most possible people into his eternal kingdom of their own free will.  How we respond to the pain and suffering of others will draw people to us, and we will draw them to Jesus, who will provide the ultimate increase.  We will do this by showing the compassion and empathy that Christ displayed in his life, drawing multitudes to himself in the flesh, and many more since.  Whoever will be a master must be a servant.

Jesus paid a heavy price on the cross.  The servant is not greater than the master.  He suffered in this world.  We will suffer in this world. We will see him soon in all his glory.  And all suffering, of any kind will be be eliminated and replaced with joy forever.

Life is Unfair

 

 

I sure hope so! If it isn't and I were scheduled to get what is fair I'd be in big trouble.

Amen.... life is unfair. Its like this because Satan is the god of this world. Satan told Christ "And the devil said to Him, All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.". I know of awful evil things going on every moment of ever day. And God is not in control of it.. nor is He just allowing it. We wonder why we need to pray.. and then TOLD to pray in all things about all things.

So God yes had a plan from the start. To turn what is to His glory as He always does. I think we pass stuff we don't understand off to GOD. A woman sneaks in saves this 11 month old baby. You DON'T want to know from what was about to happen to that baby. In that country men, women go to this place. A place GOD didn't set up didn't allow. See this woman stoled that 11 month old baby. Or saved it is a better word. She says stoled. She at that time had saved about 250 kids from that place.

My point is.. I think we hid from don't want to see whats really going on. THIS is why we PRAY. Same as they did with Peter that was in jail. God didn't just think.. hmm I want Peter out of Jail so He sends some angel to get him out. No..they were PRAYING about it. Just like the preacher that was set free from India. He was there for about 7 months. All charges were dropped. Why? PEOPLE were praying.. then gives GOD the right to do something. God comes down and tells Abraham ..He came to see "I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.” We say "cry out to the lord".. not sure how that also is not praying

Our role so to speak in this world is far greater then we think. God can never go against anyones will. Why do you think we pray? To only receive? I use to think so. I was really close to this family. They had 7 kids. He and his wife were from some other country. Two things that happened. As I always did anything to help they had stories about the dad. I knew the dad very well. One night after hearing things from the kids. I go over.. I went to the next door and talked to them. This is what that mans wife said "oh you hear screams and such but.. you just block it out". They moved.. I was still close to the youngest. She would tell me things the next door MAN said to her and her friend.. when they were swimming. So I talked to the police. If I told you the things that man was saying.. anyway.. I call the police.. she says "unless he DOES SOMETHING we can't do anything". I understand the LAW... thats what the police said.

So... I KNOW who I am in Christ.. I KNOW my authority. So you PRAY.. and you then SEE GOD work! They are all safe now. Well the oldest daughter.. had a boyfriend.. where he shot himself and they have never found the daughter. This family.. Jesus means nothing. The mother.. oh you can't even talk to her. Shes so shy. Dad.. he still LOVES to gamble. This is just one story around me. There are REASONS you are where you are. So many times.. its not about you but others.. that NEED what you have. You don't have to agree. Not here to say anyone is right or wrong. But... this world GOD is not in control. If He is.. He has it really messed up. YET it will ALL turn out just like HE said it would!

You really truly are the LIGHT some will ever see. I truly don't know how far I can extend my family.. and claim them.. and your house shall be saved. But the family I told you about.. there mine now. My house shall be saved. Don't you ever wonder when you look at someone.. WHO is praying for them? I do ALL the time. Praise GOD someone is ALWAYS praying. May not know the name but.. praying.

And yes like the post above.. right after this life.. all the evil done to so many.. our Father makes it as if.. it never happened. It will never be remembered. You have ALL POWER over the enemy.. use it
