Saturday Afternoon Session
Infuriating Unfairness
Excerpts
Unfairness can seem incompatible with the reality of a kind, loving Heavenly Father. Yet He is real, He is kind, and He loves each of His children perfectly. …
Some unfairness cannot be explained; inexplicable unfairness is infuriating. … Mortal life is inherently unfair. …
… I declare with all my aching heart that Jesus Christ both understands unfairness and has the power to provide a remedy. … He understands perfectly what we are experiencing. …
… In the eternities, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will resolve all unfairness. We understandably want to know how and when. How are They going to do that? When are They going to do it? To my knowledge, They have not revealed how or when. What I do know is that They will. …
We can try to hold our questions about how and when for later and focus on developing faith in Jesus Christ. …
As we develop faith in Jesus Christ, we should also strive to become like Him. We then approach others with compassion and try to alleviate unfairness where we find it. …
Do not let unfairness harden you or corrode your faith in God. Instead, ask God for help. Increase your appreciation for and reliance on the Savior. …
… Your faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will be rewarded more than you can imagine. All unfairness—especially infuriating unfairness—will be consecrated for your gain.
