Unjust Punishment for the Just

Maybe I am the only one who ever feels this way, but sometime I feel like no matter how hard I try I am being punished for something.  I know that that is not the way that life works.  I know we all have our trial.  I know that my trails will never compare to those of Christ or Job or any other great prophet or leader in this world.  I also know that I will only be given what I can handle and would never be able to endure all that any other one individual has to endure.  That however, does not stop me from questioning from time to time why I have to go through any particular trail.

I guess in hind sight every trial I have had has been for my benefit and been there to help me learn and grow in life.  Sometimes I just want to whine and cry, which I know does no good, that life is no fair.  Sometimes the trails we have are brought on by our own disobedience to the laws of God.  From those we learn where we have gone wrong and how we need to change.  Even though it is not pleasant it is something I can understand the need for. 

What is hard to understand is when you are doing all that you know to be right and there is some hardship placed in front of you that now needs to be overcome. I can see why some may think this is not fair and unjust.  It is hard to remember why we have trial.  And that every trial we do have is to mold and guide us into the type of person that God would have us be. 

Yes I may have my days that I complain. I will have my days I will cry and resist.  But in the end, hopefully I will be one of the proud and chosen children of god, standing by his side hearing the words..."Well done my kind and faithful servant.  Well done my beloved child.  Welcome home."
