That's Not Fair!

The daughter was told that she could not date the boy
because he was not a believer. The response was typical:
"That's not fair!"
The wise father replied: "You're correct, it's not fair!
It's not fair that you are beautiful.
It's not fair that you are smart.
It's not fair that you have two loving parents.
It's not fair that your family has above average income.
It's not fair that you have more nice things than most.
You should get on your knees and thank God that He is not
fair!
You could live in a Muslim country and have parents
martyred for their faith.
You could have few rights simply because you are a female.
You could live in poverty with little sanitation like much
of the world.
So, when you take a hot shower and climb into a comfortable
bed, thank God!
When a nutricious meal is placed in front of you, thank God!
When a vehicle takes you to school, thank God!
When your parents tell you that they love you, thank God!
When God disciplines you, thank God!"

Compromise

I say that 2 + 2 = 4.

You say that 2 + 2 = 8, but you are willing to compromise
on 2 + 2 = 6.

Why is this not reasonable? 2 + 2 = 4 is true, and both of
the others are false!

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life;
no one comes to the Father but through Me."
