That's Not Fair!

That’s Not Fair

If someone does wrong to you, then forgive him.

Forgive each other because the Lord forgave you.

—Colossians 3:13 (ICB)

Life is not fair. You hear that a lot, but it can still be hard to accept. People will say and do things that hurt your feelings, things you don’t deserve. But when someone mistreats you, try to see it as a chance to show them My grace and to grow in your own faith.

Don’t try to get even. See how quickly you can forgive. And don’t tell everyone around you what happened. Just let it go. Don’t worry about what others think—My opinion is the one that really counts.

When others mistreat you, remember this: I freely forgive all your sins. I clothe you in shining robes of righteousness bought with My own blood. This isn’t fair either—it is the amazing gift of My grace.

When others treat you unfairly, remember that My ways with you are muchbetter than fair. My ways are Peace and Love—poured out into your heart by My Spirit.

Love,

Jesus
