The Invisible God

A God of Inequity

Hasn’t it crossed your mind that God is unfair?

And I don’t mean that in a blasphemous or negative way. At all.

I mean think about it. We’ve forgotten Him during times of happiness when He should have been given all the credit, we’ve sinned time and again, we’ve broken our promises to Him…not only once but more times than we’d care to count. We’ve been like the ultimate spoiled problem child and He still manages to give us what we need when we need it.

If that isn’t unfair, I don’t know what is. It’s unfair to Him to be like that and let me tell you why.

We, as creatures of sin, should right now be cast into the eternal torture that is Hell and be made to suffer the most damned of punishments forever and ever. I believe we are entitled to as least that. Each and every one of us.

But God chooses to be unfair. He’s as stubborn as we can never imagine and I think He’s like that because He does it out of love.

I hate it when I remember things like this. It makes me feel all rotten inside. But it’s the good kind of rotten feeling if you can ever relate to what I’m saying right now.

We humans, as enforcers of justice have always acted in a justifiable manner. Someone pisses us off, we throw a fit. This beat-up owner cuts us off at the road, we cut the car in front of us…desperately risk life and limb to catch up with that owner, and then we cut it off as if our life depended on it. We have always had a system of justice with which we adhere to. And with some people, their system is simple: “You mess with me, and you’re gonna wish you were never born you !!!”

What’s my point again?

God is unfair.

He is so because we shouldn’t be where we are right now yet He has chosen to bless us with so many things. And more often than not, we tend to gripe about how we don’t have enough of this and that when we should realize that we have much much more than what we truly deserve.

As early as our childhood years, we’ve been brainwashed into thinking that having more of something is a measure of happiness. Haven’t you ever wondered how good it would have felt like to own a room full of He-Man action figures complete with Castle Grayskull and Cringer a.k.a. Battle Cat? It’s funny looking back at what we’ve branded as a measure of happiness, isn’t it? Or haven’t you wondered what life would be like if you couldn’t decide what’s sports car to bring to school? To some it might be food for thought; not to mention also for our dreams…but maybe we should start rethinking about what really matters in life because as far as I’m concerned, I think we’re all being set up.

By the world, by the media, by everything that is trivial. And they’re doing a spectacular job, mind you.

And when someone asks where is God in our lives amidst all of this. We sometimes cannot help but shrug and dismiss the idea.

We never deserved any of this---our life, our belongings, our blessings. But He still gave it all to us and more.

Again I ask: If that’s not being unfair, I don’t know what is.
