Whats Not Fair

“Don’t envy sinners, but always continue to fear the Lord. You will be rewarded for this; your hope will not be disappointed.” - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Sometimes, we become envious of people with more possessions or those who have visited exotic locations. Many of these people, who seem to have it all, aren’t followers of Jesus. This does not seem fair when those who faithfully follow Jesus have far less compared to those who scoff at God. But in God's justice, what is fair? While nonbelievers are living for money and fleeting pleasures, others understand that knowing and serving Christ is what really matters in this life. Possessions are just worthless things that will easily burn up, but serving Christ is valued for all eternity.

God has not called us to be reservoirs; He has called us to be rivers. I dare you to give yourself away by allowing Jesus to flow through you for the glory of God.
