The reason many people are grumbly hateful rather than humbly grateful is that they have this belief, this conviction that no matter what, “God is fair.” Let me tell you: God is not fair. God is just.

Fairness is a human attribute. “Fairness” implies that God owes us something, and if we don’t get it, God isn’t “fair” to us. Or if somebody gets more than we got, or before we get it, we grumble and pout, “That’s not fair. So-and-so got more than I got.”

That has nothing to do with it. Again, God is not “fair.” God is just—perfectly righteous and holy. God owes us nothing, but He owes His own sense of integrity everything.
