Life is Unfair

Met (if we can call it "met") a fellow blogger and she was feeling very down presumably because she was down on love. Wrote on her blog some words that I hope would make sense to her and restore her faith in love.

But who has not gone through times of feeling unloved? Who has not felt let down by love?

What is our response? It is simply impossible to answer these deeply personal questions with a stroke of a pen.

But I will say this - Life is Unfair. The sooner we realise this, the better. But should we be bitter about it? We should ... if we really do not have someone who loves us! Fortunately, there is Someone who loves us. But how can we know that there is One who loves us?

When you see the beautiful sunrise, do you feel the love of the One who created it? When you see the vibrant colours of flowers, do you not feel the love of the One who created it for our enjoyment? When you hear the chirping of the birds, are you not impressed by the love of the One who allowed us hearing? When you smell the aroma of coffee or bacon, do you not know it was with love that we were made to be able to smell? When I remember the Cross, was it not love that allows me to remember?

My dear friend, WE ARE deeply loved and greatly blessed. Much more than we can ever comprehend...
