XMAS MASSAGE:- WHEN WE SEE LIFE FROM AN UNFAIR ANGLE

One scholar once wrote that “none of us have a "perfect" past. The fact is that we live in a sinful world. However, problems arise when we see life from an "UNFAIR" perspective. 

When we see ourselves as victims, we become caught in our circumstance whether it be a past or present experience. Our natural response to negative situations is anger”.

The truth is when we direct anger toward someone or something automatically we enslave ourselves because at the final point guilt will bring depression then life will be unfair.

The problem is that when we take the position that everything is unfair, what we are really saying is that God is unfair.

We need to remember that no temptation is unique to an individual, and that God enables us to over come the temptation (I Corinthians 10:13). We should understand that whatever the temptation, God's grace is available for us to walk through the temptation.

When we focus on sin, then that is what we do. We sin. When we focus on righteousness, then we do right. We are to be led of the Spirit and we will not sin. (Galatians 5:16). We can not obey God and the devil at the same time.

We need to give thanks unto God for everything (even our past or present situation) I Thessalonians 5:18.

We give thanks for what God has done or will do (Philippians 4:6). We are to praise God for His nature and character. David made a practice of praising God seven times a day (Psalm 119:164). The more we praise God, the easier it becomes. The more we learn about praising God, the more we see how righteous He really is.

Do you know Jesus suffered all the "unfairness" that we might receive life and healing. He was born of poor parents. He was rejected by the people he knew.

He was falsely accused and sentenced to be executed for crimes that he didn't commit. He suffered these things that we might become a new person and be healed (Isaiah 53:4, Luke 4:18-19).

Amen.
