We live in a society that is so caught up on what's "fair" that many of us don't know how to receive a blessing when it comes to us. Personally, when I look at everything I have because of Jesus it definitely isn't fair at all - it's completely UNFAIR, but it still is a gift that He chose to give me - so I'd better receive it.
