“It amazes me how we expect that people will be honest, treat us fairly, and that we will
be rewarded on our merits. We are always so shocked when people don’t turn out to
be who they present themselves to be, or we are confronted with circumstances
we don’t deserve. The Bible is full of that, too. We should know better. Life
is unfair; people will treat you horribly just out of petty jealousies and
personal greed; and not all sacrifices are well-rewarded, at least
in this life. It reminds me to keep setting my heart in a better
kingdom with a Father who is not only incredibly loving
and tender, but honest and fair. Not all will be settled
in this age the way we think best. He won’t always
do what we want, but he will never fail us. Even
through the brokenness of this age he can
guide us, setting us ever more free from
the tyranny of our own desires, to find
a greater freedom in the knowing
of him.” By Wayne Jacobsen*
