why ME?

We often cry, "Why did God allow this to happen to me? I don't deserve ___(fill in the blank)___. I don't deserve it..."

And that's absolutely correct.

We DON'T deserve it! Because we actually deserve much worse.

An old Puritan once said, "Your sufferings are not so great as your sins. Put these two in the balance, and see which weighs heaviest."

Want real justice? For the wages of sin is death. That's what we really deserve. But it's God's grace that even allows us to live, let alone have eternal life with Christ. So cheer up! Whatever way you look at it, you're doing better than you deserve. Have a nice day!
