It’s Not Fair

June 9, 2010

“Not fair!” Whether you’ve said it or at least thought it, you’ve got to admit, it’s hard to see someone get away with something and not get what they deserve. We learn this early in life. Just ask the parent of any teenager. Kids hate to see their siblings get off scot-free for the things they got spanked for. Which is why they so readily tattle on each other. But then, we never really grow out of this. To our way of thinking, fairness means sinners deserve God’s wrath and we, the good people, deserve His applause.

But if God were into being “fair,” we would all be consumed by His judgment! We can be thankful for this: “[God] has not dealt with us according to our sins” (Ps. 103:10). We should be glad, not grumpy, that God chooses mercy over fairness and that He is willing to extend grace even to those who are undeserving and hopelessly lost. And while we are thinking about it, when was the last time we let mercy trump fairness with someone who offended us?

It’s not God’s fairness but His mercy that drives Him to pursue us so that heaven can have a party when we are found (Luke 15:7). Personally, I’m thankful that God has not been “fair” with me! Aren’t you?

Favor to the undeserving;
Love, when from God we have turned;
Mercy, when His love we’ve spurned—
That’s God’s grace! —Anon.

We can show mercy to others because God has shown mercy to us.

Read: Psalm 103:1-10

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities. —Psalm 103:10

Bible in a year:
2 Chronicles 32-33; John 18:19-40

Oh the saddest of sights in a world of sin
Is the little lost pup with his tail tucked in.

Good Morning, NellieMae. Happy Wednesday.

Welcome to Amy's Place.
I hope we will see here again soon and often.

Wishing you a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Awwww....so cute, yorkie! I am having that light rain that Johnn wrote a poem about yesterday. Some flowers still have to be watered at the edge of the patio and the hanging ferns.

Hope you are having a sunny day. (((Hugs)))

Good day to everyone. Just a few minutes before I have to start preps for Bible Study. Here is my warm-fuzzy offering for today.

Lovely painting of the white dog, ladies. And I always enjoy quotes about puppies. All those are true. Sometimes I think I need a puppy but then.....I think about it and change my mind!!

I don't blame you, JC! They're SUCH a nuisance!

The Bed Puppy

Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep.
I sleep right in the centre groove,
My human can hardly move!

I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in tight,
And here is where I pass the night.
No one disturbs me or dares intrude
Till morning comes and “I want food!”

I sneak up slowly to begin,
My nibbles on my human’s chin.
She wakes up quickly,
I have sharp teeth -
I'm a puppy, don't you see?

For the mornings here and it's time to play
Always seem to get my way.
So thank you Lord for giving me,
This human person that I see.
The one who hugs me and holds me tight,
And sacrifices her bed at night!
