It's not fair! Those words are absolutely forbidden in our house. In fact, we refer to "fair" as "the f_ word." Ever notice how when we say something is unfair, we are rarely talking about someone else's loss or disadvantage? Usually what we mean by "it's not fair" is that we didn't get our way or someone else got something we perceive to be better than what we got.
There is so much that seems to be unfair. Where is God when things get tough? So many things are at work in the background, that we often can't see the forest for the trees. Sometimes we can look back on an event with the perspective of time and find some meaning or purpose in it. Sometimes it remains a mystery - forever.
No matter the circumstance, you can always be sure that it's not fair. God always loves you no matter what you do or don't do - no matter how unlovable you are. That's not fair, but I sure do like it!
