Malachi2.17–3.12, Matthew19.16–end 
Malchie 2.17-3.12, Matthieu 19.16-end

IT'S  JUST    NOT   FAIR   ! ! ! ! !
CE N’EST PAS JUSTE

              How often have we  looked around,  and seen other people who seem to be  SO  lucky !    They seem to 'Have it All'!  And we know that some of them are Not  Even Very Nice !  ( We've seen them  being Horrible to their families ! )

                                                   HOW   DO   THEY   GET   AWAY   WITH   IT!

             Aren't we All a little bit jealous,  and want more of the ' Good things of life ' for ourselves ?   And don't we nag God just a little bit, because, surely, we are just as 'good' as those 'lucky' ones . . . maybe even a little bit better !

                                                     BUT . . . .

            God does know what is in our hearts ( and is probably a bit disappointed  that we are so jealous over things to make our own lives more comfortable ! )  He asked the rich young man who  wanted  Eternal Life to give  EVERYTHING  away, and follow him. . .  ALL of it !     So, when He returns, our Lord, who made Heaven and Earth,  then it is He who will be our Help,  and our Saviour !

          So,  He has it all in hand ~ and,  in His Good Time,  He will make it all FAIR . .
                                                                                                                         
And  none of us will get away with anything after all . . . .
                                       especially if  we   keep   on  nagging !
