Are we unfairly treated?

Do you sometime feel that the world is rather unfair?

Do you feel unappreciated for all the things you have done?
Do you feel that it is unfair that someone who is less capable than you is enjoying more of the things of this world?
Why should you feel so?

Don't you realise that if we have more, more is expected of us?
Aren't you concerned that the Lord said that it is more difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God?
Why are you despairing to be rich?
Or to be in a position of authority?

Isn't God the One who promotes?
Isn't He in control of everything on Earth?
Doesn't He care for you and me?

If so, I can safely say now that God is fair.
In fact, He is more than fair.
He is just.

He will ensure that you have enough for your needs.
He also knows when too much of a "good" thing is bad for you.

Of course, you can continue to chase the material stuff.
You will only be climbing the wrong tree.
Eventually, you will get what you long for.
However, in the process, you would lose what is truly valuable:
The peace of God, and His smile on His servant - you.

Don't sweat for the small stuff.
