For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.(2 Corinthians 4: 17-18)
We all know that life isn't fair, that it is filled with inequities and injustices. Sure, there are times when good is rewarded and bad is punished. But far too often, it is the very opposite of that. We see good people suffer and see evil people succeed.
But while it is true that life is not fair, it is also true that God is good. He is righteous and holy, and He loves all of us. And one day in eternity, God will right all wrongs. All of those unanswered questions will be dealt with. The unfair things in life will be solved. Pain will be replaced by comfort. Tears will be replaced by joy and laughter. Heaven is where losses are more than compensated for.
Have a great week,
Jody
