Fair
I went to a funeral yesterday. It was a situation similar to my own, a lovely lady with everything to live for, who loved God but she had been called home and her family are left to pick up whatever peices remain and move on. My heart was broken for them as the memories of Jill's funeral flooded back. I left seagoe cemetry and went to Lurgan cemetry and sat at the bottom of Jills grave yet again in anguish and despair, but I did it folks. My goal was to go and endure the whole service for the family and I did it and survived.
I came to a conclusion, yesterday Life is just not fair. That does not mean God is not good, He is and if you ever feel life is not fair ask Him. He sent His only Son to this world and they murdered Him before His 34th birthday. God sent John the Baptist as a forrunner for His Son and they chopped his head of at a similar age. God knows "LIFE IS NOT FAIR". I am reminded of the words of Jesus Himself in scripture, "In this world you will have trouble, but I have overcome the world". He came to redeem us, to break the curse of sin and death, one day we will stand before Him knowing He had it all under control even when we thought it just wasn't fair.
