Too often, I find myself in the middle of a sibling argument. I find myself listening to my younger siblings argue about how unfair certain areas of their lives are. I find myself joining in with them, but not realizing it until later.
While I sit here writing this, my mind is wandering to the 'fairness' of life. Truth is, life isn't and never has been fair. Ever.
Was it fair to Adam that Eve sinned and ruined the world? Was it fair to God that he created this world and later Eve ruined it by disobedience?
No. It's not fair.
What if life was fair? Life wouldn't be much a surprise. We would all be doing the same thing and growing up the same way and learning the same things. Basically, if life was fair, we would all be exactly the same because if we weren't the same life wouldn't be fair. Right?
God made life unfair for a reason. He made life unfair so that we each can have our own special surprises in our life. He made life unfair so that we can all grow up differently and learn to be the person he wants us to be.
If we all grew up the exact same way and did the exact same thing, there wouldn't be any special surprises or twists to our story. God loves giving us twists. He loves giving us surprises. That's why he made life unfair. He made life unfair so that we don't have to be the same as everyone else.
Instead of "Life isn't fair." Think about, Why life is unfair.
Life is unfair, and that's okay.
The reason life is unfair is because it is. It just is. Life isn't fair or perfect, but God is okay with that. All he wants for you to do is enjoy the ride of life. He wants you to enjoy the special twists and turns that he puts into life. He wants that. He doesn't want for you to not be content, he just simply wants you to be content with where he puts you at this time.
Stop thinking about how you wish life was fair, instead think of the reason behind why life isn't fair.
