There are people who lose their job while their neighbor is promoted.
I have seen a weak man beaten down because he is weak.
I have seen the lame suffer greatly and live short lives.
There are children without a father because of a prison cell.
I have seen undeserving people get the Lord's grace.
There are wives abused and husbands cheated on.
I have seen the rich have no regard for the poor.
I have been abused as a child.
There are children crying today because mom's a crackhead.
There are people begging for change from people ignoring them.
I have seen the addict live to be 100, and an innocent child die at birth.
The guilty go free from the same room that the innocent are declared guilty.
All of this and more causes my heart to scream out: "This is not fair!" And in that moment of screaming out, I have declared that I should be God - because I am more capable than He at determining what is fair and just, and what is not. In all of these moments and many more in my own personal life, may what I scream be what David said in Psalm 86: "You alone are God, have mercy on me".
