Justice Minded
I am overly justice minded. My dad used to drive me crazy because he’d do exactly whatever the sign said not to! I guess he thought it was meant for someone else. I follow the rules! I can not stand to see someone break the rules and go unpunished for it. It literally puts me over the edge. I’m constantly the one asking “Why do bad things happen to good people?” It seems to be getting worse the older that I get. When does God finally avenge??? Finally, God gave me a verse. It may be out of context, but no doubt came from God to answer this dilema that I put myself in. “Or do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you toward repentance?” (Romans 2:4) I’m so thankful that God doesn’t judge me the way that I think the rest of the world should be judged! I’m so thankful for his kindness toward me. It is truly a miracle of mercy. I find myself now a little softer when I see injustices being bypassed. I now pray for the “law breakers” that they may see God’s kindness toward them and be lead to repentance and salvation.
