Someone Else

Proverbs 2:9 - Then you will understand what is right and just and fair--every good path.
​“This isn’t fair.”
 
How many times have we said this to ourselves and maybe even out loud.
 
Let me tell you it to you straight. Even though your heart feels like it’s been dragged over hot coals, life isn’t fair.

  • Someone else is going to be smarter than you.
 
  • Someone else is going to get the job you wanted even though you were more qualified.
 
  • Someone else is going to have more friends.
 
  • Someone else doesn’t seem to struggle with their weight like you do.
 
  • And, there will always be someone else who doesn’t have to struggle with mental illness.
 
Yet, let me tell you a secret – There’s someone else out there who also doesn’t think life isn’t fair; and they may have a mental illness also, but aren’t brave enough to tell the world.
 
So here goes:

  • You are smarter than someone else.
 
  • You have the job someone else wishes they had.
 
  • You are the one who has more friends than someone else.
 
  • You are the one who, though you struggle to lose weight, at least you’re trying and someone else isn’t and they wish they were you.
 
We’re all going to face tough situations in life that don’t seem fair.  Read the article, “Life Isn’t Always Fair: 5 Steps to Accept Tough Situations,” on tinybuddha.com and find some ways to accept tough situations.
 
Your heart may feel like it’s being dragged over hot coals, but you have the power to take your bucket to the streams of Living Waters, fill it up and pour it over your heart.
 
But save a few drops to share it with someone else.
