"...it took a long time for me to realize that fairness is a human concept. Things can never be absolutely fair. Give two children identical pieces of candy, and one will argue that the other got the bigger piece. Pay two employees identical salaries, and one will complain the she or he works harder than the other and deserves more.
The bottom line is that God is not "fair" in the ways that we define fairness. If God were fair, we would have no hope, for we have all sinned and continue to sin. No, God is grace, and one of the simplest yet most profound definitions of grace is God treating us infinitely better than we deserve."
