My Life is Unfair

Last night instead of having prayer meeting at our church, we held it on the beach. It was a beautiful, clear, cool, delightful evening. 

While I prayed peacefully on a gorgeous beach under a gorgeous sunset, 30,000+ people in Colorado fled their homes due to wildfires. They didn't know if they would ever come back home, because home wouldn't be there. 

I do not understand God, I have been incredibly blessed in my life, yet why? Because God is "unfair" He doesn't give me the life I deserve because of my sin. Instead, He shows mercy, more than I can ever know. 

Neither I or anyone else will ever understand it. 

Romans 9:16

"It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy."
