Justice

I was just contemplating a situation recently.

If I was not to believe in God life would just be unfair and truly unbearable.

Lets check this out for just a minute
"Why does a child die every four seconds due to a lack of basic needs, when in the western world we have a epidermic called obesity that means we are seeing more children severely overweight, how is that fair?"


"Working family face financial ruin because of no fault of their own other than trusting in government and banks to do the morally thing and do what was right, how is that fair?"


"Young boys and girls are on a daily basis being abused by the very people that should be taking care of them, these kids never asked to be born, you can't tell me this is fair!?


I could go on and on and on with examples of injustice, but I am not writing this from the point of view of complaining about life injustice. I want to come from the angle to ask the question if you don't believe that one day every one will be judged how do you cope???


Seriously! I am a believer in Jesus and so believe that all of us one day will be judged for our actions. Both those that are evident to all and those things that we do in secret. 


I remember being in church once and the preacher said "what if following you around was a video screen that showed every one what you have done and what you was doing". Challenging right that really convicted me to know that God see all things even those things we think are secret and he see all that has been done to us. 


This make you check yourself to say look I need to fix up sharp but also it stops you from being overly judgmental of others. I say this many times I want to complain about other people but then I review my day and I then have to keep quite as I know I have been far from perfect. 


But lets also be real. I can get ticked off when I see injustice like some of the things that I mentioned earlier. But I am comforted when I know that even though at times murderers, abusers, bullies and oppressors seemed to get away with blue murder I know that it will only be for a time. One day they will have to answer to God like I will and account for everything that they have done.


So I leave you with to things 


If like me you get frustrated with injustice know that God knows and sees everything. 
Second, remember you will also be judged so make your right before you meet our maker.


Bless 


Remember God gift to us is life what we do with that life is our gift back to God
