LIFE IS UNFAIR!

LIFE IS UNFAIR!


In LIFE=we don't always get
What we DESERVE=sometimes we get
Better=sometimes we get worse


And sometimes=we get TRAGEDY through
NO FAULT of our own=life really is
UNFAIR


But I think God is the
GREAT EQUALIZER=he sees POSSIBILITIES
For us=for our lives=
When all looks lost


“You say='the LORD'S way is not fair'=
Hear now=house of Israel=


Is it my way
That is unfair=
Or rather-
Are NOT your ways UNFAIR?” Ezekiel 18:25


Saint Paul tells the Romans=
“The wages of sin is death” Romans 6:23


And we ALL sin=so we are
SUBJECT to death=and we are all
Subject to experiencing
The anguish and LONELINESS


The Lord's way is POSSIBILITIES
The Lord's way is FAIR=
Sometimes even MIRACLES


God is FAIR=God gives
A CHANCE=when life sometimes
CLOSES us out


“..............
For receiving instruction
To prudent behavior


DOING what is right=and just=
And FAIR” Proverbs 1:3


“Masters provide yous slaves
With what is FAIR


Because you know
That you also have
A MASTER IN HEAVEN” Colossians 4:1


TRUST in the Lord=he will
DO what is right and FAIR
For you


God is fair=
LIFE IS UNFAIR


In the gospel today (Matthew 5:20-26)
Jesus tells us
That we are NOT


To FOLLOW the laws of God
Simply to keep laws


But if we don't it LEADS to
Spiritual sickness and death


So to get a FAIR LIFE
We must TRUST
In the WAYS OF GOD


And we must RELY
On the GRACE OF GOD


“When he arrived
And saw what
The GRACE of God
Had done


He was glad
And ENCOURAGED them all


To remain true
To the Lord
With ALL their hearts” Acts 11:23


“Through him
We received GRACE and apostleship
To call all the GENTILES


To the obedience
That comes from FAITH
For his name's sake


And you also
Are among those Gentiles
Who are called
To BELONG to Jesus Christ” Romans 1:5-6


LIFE IS UNFAIR!


But if we STAY CLOSE to God
We will receive
A LIFE that is FAIR AND JUST


Maybe even MIRACLES!


In Jesus' name and the name of his DIVINE FATHER
