God is not fair!

     This morning, one person, who knew that I was a pastor, talked to me in a gym. "God is not fair! What do you think?" "What do you mean?" I asked back. "You know, there was a boy, a 6 years old, carrying bricks to make money in India and there is Paris Hilton, who spends lots of money everyday for her party!" Oh! You mean, "Life is not fair!" I said. "That is the same thing! God allowed all those miseries and God is not fair when life is not fair!"
      Yes, life is not fair. However, God has never allowed such unfairness. Actually God wants us to correct the unfairness but we did not listen to God! Don't you think that God commanded Paris Hilton to share her money with those boys and girl in India? She simply did not listen to God. Many others, for example our church members, however, listen to God and help people in many places! You can say that life is not fair but you cannot say that God is not fair! God is fair. God wants fairness. God gave diverse talents and gifts to us. We should share it. That is what God wants us to do. So, if you think that the boy's life is miserable, help him as much as you can! If you cannot do it alone, come to our church and let us do it together! Do not blame God!
     "Oh, I have to think about it!" Then the seeker left! Oh, Lord! People do not know your heart! I pray that all should appreciate God's unconditional love! You see, pastors do not just exercise in a gym. We have all kinds of interesting conversations there. Do you want to try?
