What a perfect sentiment as we approach Good Friday and the Passion. One can easily say that life was not fair for Jesus, the only one of us who never sinned. Thank God for the afterlife and the promise of Heaven, otherwise the story of Jesus would be too much to bear- it almost is even with the knowledge of the hereafter.
Just because we know life isn't fair doesn't mean we quit seeking to find fairness in it. It also doesn't mean that it is okay to live being unfair to others. It means that for those things we cannot control, we need to be able to let go. Bad things do happen to good people. Good things happen to bad people. What we have the power to control is how we react when life isn't fair. It is the attitude we take that makes all the difference.
--I pray, God, when life isn't fair that I handle it in a positive way. That I always remember to be thankful for life and the happiness it can bring. That even when bad things happen to good people, Heaven will not hold these evils in the afterlife. Amen.
