We all long for justice, but life isn’t lived on an equal playing field. Some are born with more opportunities, talents, or resources than others. When we measure everything by “fairness,” we fall into envy, resentment, and frustration.

Jesus reminds us that God’s ways are not our ways.

Everything we have, our gifts, our circumstances, our opportunities, is a gift of God’s grace. He gives us what we need to live a full and meaningful life. Our happiness isn’t found in measuring ourselves against others, but in using what we’ve been given for the good of others. True justice is found when we seek the good of everyone.  

Reflection Question: Where am I still comparing myself with others, and how is God inviting me instead to receive His grace and use my gifts for others?
