Is Life unfair?

Do you find life to be a struggle sometimes?  Does it sometimes seem like you got dealt a bad hand?  For some people, everything seems to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Meanwhile, the rest of us have to figure out how to make do with all the chips stacked against us.

Is God to blame?

Why do some people have so much while others have so little?  Did God design the world this way?

And what if He did?  Can we do anything about it?  Isn’t it a sin to question God and His ultimate wisdom?

If you’ve ever asked these questions then this song is for you.

I think holding a grudge inside and never talking about it is one of the surest ways to stress and depression.  Some people get mad at someone and hold it in because they just want to.  Some people do it because they feel they have no choice.

I know children who are angry with their parents but are too intimidated by their authority to ever confront them. In fact, I know a 30 year old man who has been holding grudge with his dad for over 20 years. And he has never ever spoken to his father about it!

I don’t blame him.  For some people, parents can be very intimidating.

And for many more people, God is the most intimidating figure of all.  Have you ever been taught that it’s a sin to question God?  Have you ever felt like you would be struck by lightning if you said “the wrong thing” or spoke about God “the wrong way”?

You are not the only one!

One way or another, we’ve all been taught to be very “careful” when it comes to the way we speak to God.  We have learned it in church, or we received the message from parents or friends or television. Even though we call Him Father, most of us do not feel comfortable approaching him like a dad… especially if we are angry or confused or feel that we have been treated unfairly.

Seriously, this makes me sad.

I hate to see people get a bum rap.  Even God.  And, it bothers me that so many people think of God as unapproachable when, for me, he’s been always accessible, always gentle, and always willing to accept me for who I am… flaws and all.

So, I wrote this song.  Hoping it would help someone.
