Sometimes we judge people and situations incorrectly.
It's a rare parent who hasn't mistakenly blamed a child for the misbehavior of his sibling.
It's a rare teacher who hasn't blamed one student for the trouble caused by another student.
Sometimes people lose their reputation through slander and lies.
Misunderstandings and miscommunication can also lead to sorrow and loss.
Innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes while the real perpetrator goes free. Honest people are sometimes cheated and cheaters are sometimes honored.
If anyone tells you life is "fair," they're wrong.
But the good news is this: Our God sees everything clearly and judges us fairly and impartially. He doesn't make us pay for things we didn't do.
“O LORD, you have searched me and you know me…you perceive my thoughts from afar…you are familiar with all my ways.” Psalm 139:1-3
When no one else understands, God does!
