Life is unfair :))
Many times in life, we feel that we've been shortchanged in life. We feel that life's unfair, and we want our
rightful portion. Think about it, is there even a
rightful portion for us? Since the time when Adam sinned, we're standing on cursed ground. We can do nothing by our own strength. But because the One who loves us so much so that he gave up His life for us, we (christians) are redeemed from the curse and the sweat and toil of men.
Today, during maths lessons, I was feeling hurt by what some classmates of mine said about and to me; no condemnation, i love you and jesus loves you :) ; and was rejecting what they said in Jesus name and i confessed Christ righteousness as mine. I was feeling abit hurt though and was thinking, "How could they say that to me? Don't they know my righteousness is in Christ and they shouldn't be discouraging me? " I felt tears well up in me. Then when the lesson was ending, Mrs Pang, my blessing and my maths teacher, said, (because of some issues in class), "Has anyone watched
da chang jin? (this Korean drama show) No matter how
chang jin (the female lead character) is wrongly accused, she doesn't bear any grudges against the accuser. Life is unfair, nobody said it wasn't. But you are a blessing to everyone around you. Favour would always surround you because God is always on your side. Although life is unfair, you have a good God!" (she said something somewhat like that. )
I felt that Daddy was speaking to me. And I started tearing. Then Claire turned around and was astonished at why I was crying. But its true. All along I always wanted to think life is good, life is a bed of roses. Many times people has said life is full of bumps and life is a roller coaster ride. I always told myself "Got God what, life surely smooth one. " But without all this bumps and rides, God goodness and mercy isn't shown. If life was going to be so smooth, so
stagnant, why did God even send His son to die for us? All these bumps and rides are not God trying to shoot you down but they are testimonies of His goodness and mercy and how glorious He is. And life is unfair, yes it is. But I have a good God whom is unfairly GOOD to me and He will cause His favour to surround me because He loves me and because it's what Christ has died to give me. And I know God is always on my side; not in a way- when i do wrong, God still on my side so i don't have to lose face...; but rather, I'm on God's side, not the Devil. I'm walking in righteousness and goodness and mercies with God. Best of all, it's His righteousness, goodness, and mercy. I am a blessing. Jesus died to make me one. Grace and blessings flow out from me because Christ IS in me and forever will. Praise Abba! :))
So now, we don't have to sweat, toil, sweat, toil just to reap that meagre amount of haverst of our own strength. But the portion that has been given to us rightfully through the blood of Christ is so big and wonderous and mighty. Not by my own strength but by His grace. Not me but Christ. No more Gina, it's Gina hidden in Christ. Not my filthy righteousness but Christ. HALLELUJAH!
