I don’t know how many times over the last few months I have thought to myself, “God why aren’t you being fair?”

To me, it’s not fair to see my mom, a woman who had already faced her share of hard times, battle cancer.

The more I think and pray about it though, it’s not right for me to question God’s fairness. To say that God is not fair is to say that I have given up on all hope in God.

Life is not fair nor will it ever be fair. To whine to God about not being fair is to be just like a little kid kicking and screaming for not getting their way.

Life is not about being fair. Life is about trusting in God above all else. Life is about holding onto faith in God despite the crumbling world around you.

So I really don’t know why my mom is going through this and I certainly hate that she is, I am trying not to whine to God about His fairness. Instead I am trusting in Him and laying every single fear, doubt, tear, and worry at His feet.
