"And this life sentence that I’m serving, I admit that I’m every bit deserving, But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair"
-Relient K [Be My Escape / Mmhmm]
This wonderful play on the phrase, "life's not fair" sets for us a far more appropriate world view. The bigger picture here is that life IS NOT fair. Death IS the fair judgement for all humankind. The basic principle behind the phrase is that any little thing in our lives that we can call good is only by the GRACE of God for without what little remnant of God's presence that still remains with us, all would fall into chaos and destruction. And so...
... the BEAUTY of GRACE is that it makes MAKES LIFE NOT FAIR ...
So... Life is going to be good, somtimes, and it's going to be bad. If you're on the majority, it's going to be bad a lot more than good. We deserve the bad and so any good is quite simply the spoils of God's mercy and grace. It is undeserved and so it is unfair. So the next time you say to yourself, "life's not fair", just think how lucky you are that it isnt.

Life itself is not fair in that any good we have is from God and is completely undeserved.
