| Life is
full of trouble, and there are days of heartache. That's a fact.
Life is painful. For some people it seems as if each day is
like being in a torture chamber -- it is agonizing. If we dwell
on the injustices of life, it will eventually lead us to bitterness.
One of the reasons many of us struggle with the question of
"Why is life so unfair?" is because we do not understand
that this earth is not the land of the living; it is the land
of the dying. All around us there is disease, death, and sadness.
The Bible teaches us that we live on a planet that is suffering
from the after-effects of sin. When you understand this, it
changes your perspective about life, and things begin to make
sense. You realize that this life is simply the proving ground
that is preparing you for life in eternity. |

| Yes, life
is short and unfair, yet the Bible tells us that God loves us
and wants to share His love with us for all of eternity. The
Bible puts it this way, "But because of His great love
for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ
even when we were dead in transgressions -- it is by grace you
have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated
us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order
that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches
of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus"
(Ephesians 2:4-7). If you put your faith and trust in Jesus
Christ, then what you have in this life is not what you get.
God has a wonderful plan to make all the injustices you have
experienced in this life right. In God's eternal kingdom there
will be no more suffering and pain. You will experience life
the way God really intended it to be. The Bible records these
words about the end of all suffering, "He will wipe every
tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning
or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"
(Revelation 21:4). Life is brief and painful, but eternity in
Heaven never ends, and there are no bad experiences there. |
