Unfair

Have you ever felt that some relationships are like that? You know, one partner gives their whole heart, soul and inner being to the one they love. And what does the other person do? Nothing, that’s what. One person overflows with passion for someone dear to them whilst that person is frigid towards them.

What was that? It sounds like a very good story concept for a short story, novel, or perhaps even a film? Yes, I completely agree. It’s such an interesting premise, so interesting I wouldn’t really mind sinking around P150 to be able to view the drama that is the plot. I could definitely see myself lost in the film, perhaps even crying for the protagonist as they give their heart wholly to someone who’d shatter it. Yeah, I’ll buy that.

But what if this rather annoying situation happened not in the safety of the silver screen or the pages of a novel but in real life --- right there in front of your physical (as opposed to imaginative) eyes? What if instead of this happening to your favourite romantic protagonist, it happened to someone so dear to you? What if that very much infuriating situation really happened?

Yeah, I hear you. You’d probably scream the following words to that love struck person.

“What? Look! You spend all your energy giving to some schmuck who would even bother to give you the time of day. It’s irrational. What’s that all about?”

It just doesn’t make any sense, does it? Why would anyone in their right mind give their world for someone who’d just end up disappointing, nay, hurting them?

Well, I know Someone like that. In fact, He’s the most powerful, incredible being in existence. He made the entire universe to put a smile on the face of the people He constantly thinks about --- people He constantly thinks about whose minds are set on everything else. He pours out His flood of blessings to those that His heart beats for --- those His heart beats for who don’t bother listening to His voice. He gave His life for those He loves --- those He loves who shun Him to be just some distant figure in the backdrop.

And yet, despite it not making any sense, He still continues to care about us, flaws and all. Why? It’s simple. He loves us. Period. His love is unconditional. Nothing we can say or do will make Him love us less. That’s not to say we can do whatever the bleep we want. But it just goes to show how immeasurable, mighty, unfailing and matchless His love is.

Yes, it’s very much unfair. But hey! I’m grateful for that.
