We see it all the time in people's lives some
unwanted circumstance enters and life is turned
upside down. A loss of a job, an unexpected bill,
sickness you name it. I think we have all said at
one time or another, "gosh, life just doesn't seem
to be fair. It does not suppose to be this way; it
wasn't what I had planned."
We hear about it all the time in people's lives
someone leaves a marriage, a friend disappoints
you when you need them the most, or someone is not
the person you expected them to be. Our
expectations in others sometimes just never seems
to be met.
We experience it at times in our own lives when
life and love come together and all we come up
with is the absence of logic. We rack our brains
to find some reasons or rationales for events or
peoples behaviors only to find ourselves left with
more confusion and frustrations.
Was life fair to Jesus? Absolutely not! Did people
disappoint him? You bet! Did events in his life
not make sense to him at times? Probably so! But
through it all even up until the time of his death
Jesus had a passion for giving people comfort in
the midst of events, unmet expectations and times
of no rhyme nor reason. One of the Passions Jesus
had was he is the great comforter. "Come to me all
who are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
the bible says. Yet nowhere in the bible does he
say that our lives will be perfect. Nowhere does
he say others will always live up to our
expectations, and nowhere does he say that we will
understand it all. But what he does say all
through out the bible is when; life, love and
logic disappoints come to the cross and lay our
burdens down. There is no other place than on our
knees that Jesus would rather us be. It is in our
questions of life, our disappointments of others,
and our times of confusion where we find the most
comforter in Jesus.
If we wait until life is 100 percent, loved ones
are totally to our liking, and we try to
understand everything about them both, life may
never be lived, love may never be found and we may
miss out on the true meaning of why Jesus died on
the cross for us. Romans 8:28 does say, "And we
know that all things work together for good to
them that loves God, to them who are called
according to his purpose." Jesus wants us to love
life, love others and love him that is the true
meaning of life.
This week when life isn't fair, disappoints arise
and things don't seem to make any sense remember
Jesus is our comforter and it's at the cross where
he died that we can lay our burdens down.
