It’s human nature to want to get even with someone else. We want things to be fair, and to us, fair means we all get what we deserve, especially when we’re wronged! But we have to remember one very important thing: God’s love isn’t fair. God showed love by sending Jesus for us. That was something incredibly good we certainly didn’t deserve—which is exactly how grace works. It wasn’t fair, but love is better than fairness.

So, the next time you’re tempted to get even with someone in your family or a person close to you who has hurt you, remember that as Jesus followers, we are called to give grace and love to others. Because of what God did for us, we can offer grace and love to others, even when it doesn’t seem fair.

Today, pray and ask God for help responding in love, even when you face something frustrating with a family member.
