It's Not Fair

So this last sixteen months has been well, challenging to say the very least but tonight I was pouring over some journals, deciding on ones to pack away permanently and the recurring theme was IT'S NOT FAIR, three small words with such deep meaning at least to me. True, it was not fair, I did not make the decisions that have profoundly impacted my life, but the truth is I can complain about how unfair it is, or change it for the better! In all honesty when I was reading, I had this vision of Jesus walking to the cross moaning and groaning about how unfair it was he had to die, there really was no fairness in this gift he gave freely to us all. So then I began to really ponder this question WHAT IF he walked to his death grumbling, complaining, and pouting the entire time? WHAT IF on the cross, he cried out, it's not fair, instead of "forgive them father"??? Wow, the entire story would have ended so differently, for not just him, but for millions of people, who knows what would have happened.

Yes life sometimes is not fair, and things occur that shake us to our very core, and break the hearts he gave us, but we through perfect grace have a choice on what we choose to do with the unfairness, complain or walk through it with grace and most importantly humility! Wow, I have A LOT of work to do!!!!
