This is an issue I come across every single day. When I listen to the radio and hear all the people complaining about the undeserved raise of expenses, the poor performances in the paid for programs, and the non compliance of the politician’s campaign promises together with the disappearance of large sums of money and/or goods collected for a specific problem, I know we are living in an unjust world.
When you
have a large family or work with children you can hear them complaining when
one or some get some kind of privilege that another one doesn’t and you hear him/her whimper: “It’s not fair!” and they physically attempt
against anything they have in front of them; or when you have to say to a
little one: “No, you cannot do that, it’s
not good for you” but he/she doesn’t understand yet and thinks you’re
trying to punish him, says the same.
The world is
simply NOT FAIR, no matter how you look at it. Yesterday I had a day in which I
almost drowned in misery thinking there’s no justice for the ones who even try
to do things right, when I heard of the devastating news about the results of a
beloved couple’s dissolution of marriage.
I even started thinking about all of the bad things that have happened
to me and remembered that I even wanted to take my life for I wasn’t ready for
this world. Why do bad things keep
happening to my loved ones? I thought, there’s not enough money to bring
justice to the justice that serves the money. But I thanked God, He set me
straight and I felt ashamed to have even dared to challenge Him. When something
is fair for one, it is not fair for the other. I’m pretty sure they both feel
cheated by the ones who decided what was best under the world law. Everyone
will not be happy with the results because they will always think it could have
been better. If one is hurt the most, “Justice would’ve probably been served if
that one got all the benefits” but what about the other? It’s not fair if we do
not think of that one, no matter who provoked the fight. I think of the
children fighting: “He started it.” “No,
he hit me first.” And the parent doesn’t know who to blame for he loves them
both.
Our Heavenly
Father loves us ALL and does not want any of us to hurt but we have to understand
that justice will come only when we learn that it only comes from Him, like
Paul the apostle said: On the one hand I myself with my mind am
serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.
Therefore there is now NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Christ Jesus. For
the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of
sin and of death. For what the law could not do, weak as it was through the
flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an
offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the
Law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according
to the Spirit. (Romans 7.25-8.4) And that means that if we behave according to
God’s way, justice will be served to whoever believes, not to whoever spends
more money, or makes more money, or works more, or loves or hates more. Everything we do in life will show our
intentions to walk with Christ or not. And if we do, we’ll know that we’ll
overwhelmingly conquer everything.
That does
not mean that we’ll be exempt of all problems like some people think, but that
we’ll have the ability of getting over them quick with wisdom and our success
is eminent,
For I consider that the
sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory
that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8.18)
