the other day i overheard someone complaining that life isn’t fair.
and they were right. life isn’t fair.
life isn’t even close to fair. and for that i am extremely happy.
if life were fair, i would have no hope. i would be hopeless.
if life were fair, i would get exactly what i deserved. all the time.
i deserve hell, eternal damnation and separation from the Creator.
i deserve o be punished for the very nature of my being.
if life were fair i would be most miserable. so i’m glad life is not fair.
it thrills me to know i don’t have to get what i more than deserve.
instead God the Father did the most unfair thing to be ever done.
He sent His Son to die so life wouldn’t have to be fair for you and me.
it was incredibly unfair that He would do that just so the ever ungrateful and messed up human race might have an unfair life filled with hope.
an unfair life with the joy of being in a relationship with the Maker of all things.
thanks God for your love. for allowing my life to be unfair.

Well, I totally agree with both facts, life isn’t fair and I’m glad it isn’t. The only way I would want it to be fair is if it was only fair when it was in my favor. Well keep writing and I’ll keep reading. Ps I don’t know if this is what was in your book but if it’s not you still need to type that out. If this is it then I’ll just wait for your next one.
