Life is not fair

God promised He would be with us wherever we are.

I have often heard the phrase, especially from children, “That’s not fair.” My response is, “Life is not fair.”

We often look at other people and wish we had what they have. But on the other hand they probably look at us and wish they had what we have. It is a very real feeling that life is not fair.

But God never promised fairness. He promised He would be with us wherever we are. He promised He would not ever give us more than we could bear.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a wife and mother. But God had other plans for me. I still hope someday He has that in my future. But I have learned that until He does, my life is still complete and happy.

No, life is not fair, but God is there. I am so thankful God is there when life throws a curve I was not prepared for.

What are your thoughts? Have you learned yet that life is not fair? Maybe you have the perfect life. Or maybe you have just learned, wherever you are, to be content. (Apostle Paul, paraphrased) I would love to hear from you.
