Have you noticed that life just isn’t fair? Is it fair that a divorced mother of three preschoolers should have to work two part-time jobs and raise her children alone while her irresponsible ex-husband parties and neglects the child support? A 34 year old missionary and father of two little girls should die suddenly of a heart attack while on vacation with his family? A child has an operation on his appendix and gets AIDS through a disease-infected blood transfusion?   Most of us face unfairness on less tragic levels. Fact, life isn’t fair, but God is.

I have found three things to remember to help face situations that seem unfair:
1. Remember what you really deserve. Remember, He gives me everything that I have. Scripture reminds us that what we deserve is hell, not heaven.

2. Envy begins when we compare ourselves with others. Our eyes betray us. Can we look at what others have and be glad? Or does the green film of envy blur our vision?

3. We must ultimately trust God, who owns everything, and be convinced He knows what He is doing. He not only knows what He is doing, but He also loves us. He can be trusted.

Everything that occurs in our life will either come directly from God’s hands or be gently sifted through His fingers. Circumstances, events and problems may not always appear to be fair, but they have permission to occur from our loving Father.
