Christians: why does God?

Question

bless some people more.

i know a Christian woman who is always happy and has lots of friends. she gossips a lot about people and sometimes judges people really harshly. even so, her friends still love her and never complain. she is very beautiful and intelligent. she is very popular and people always want to please her, no matter what she does or says. her husband worships the ground she walks on.

yes, i am jealous because she has a lot of advantages and gets away doing things that other people normally don't. i see God is being unfair in this situation. i see God favoring her.

don't tell me God loves me very much or God blesses me, or God sees everything. He sees this and where is the justice?

TO THE KIND ANSWERS, THANK YOU! = + )

Answer 1

I know it doesn't seem to be fair,i used to think like you,why some "bad" people are happier and have more money than some real nice ones,but i've learned in my church that God doesn't punish us in this life for our mistakes,but that happens when we die.
so as long as we're alive we have the chance to go back to him and ask for forgiveness,there is no revenge by God!
weird huh?do you hear that it rains on the good and the bad people?that's what it means.
I hope u find this useful somehow.
God Bless you...

Answer 2

It is so true, there is so much unfairness, I can tell you even among missionairies , the pretty and popular ones are the ones who end up getting married and being successful, and are just generally more happy, although I don't think they any holier than any of the other missionaires who are all 'serving God". Why is this, if God sees the heart? And if He looks at the inside of man. The only explanation would seem to be we are still in the world. It won't be until later in the afterlife that things will be different. It can make it hard to continue on though if you're not one of the priveleged. I can understand you.

Answer 3

Don't worry about her, just worry about yourself. Look at this way, you're already jealous of this woman and you don't need to be because you said she was a gossip and a judge and beauty is only skin deep, looks don't last long. You need to thank God for the things He has given you. You didn't want to hear that God blesses you and loves you and that He sees everything, but the point is He does all of those things, even the things that you do, He knows your jealousy, just like He knows all the things we do and feel. Ask forgiveness and pray for strength, and the Good Lord does love you.

Answer 4

It does sometimes seem some are favored more by God than others. But what glitters isn't always gold. Everyone has problems and demons they are faced with everyday. And you never know what she is dealing with.

Biblically I guess the meek will inherit the Earth, in the end.

Non-biblically, in the end outward beauty fades; and whats in the dark will come to the light, as far as how she is always judging and gossiping (sounds insecure about something to me). Just focus on bettering yourself for yourself and for God.

Answer 5

Anyone can be "happy" with material stuff and a lot of friends, but don't equate this stuff with her claim to faith. If she claims to be a Christian but isn't showing the love of Christ through her words and actions, bottom line, her words are empty and so is her faith. Jesus said that many would call Him "Lord" but only those who do His Father's will would enter His kingdom. If this lady is just calling Him "Lord" but not doing what He says or wanting to live for Him, then she's going to have a lot to answer for someday. Please try not to be discouraged by what she has, because what she apparently doesn't have is so much more significant. If the junk she has is her focus instead of God, then none of the stuff she thinks is "hers" will last in the end anyway. I'd like to suggest that you tell the Lord exactly how you feel--if you're mad, flat-out spill your guts to Him about it, and get it on the table, so to speak. He already knows how you feel, but He wants you to be honest with Him and with yourself and for you to focus on Him for your contentment. And while it might not be easy at all, I'd like to encourage you to start praying for this woman to seek God's will before anything else in her life. God can take care of the rest. (Matthew 6:25-34)

Answer 6

"...for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:45

Many people claim to be Christians because they believe in Jesus Christ. If they have never humbled themselves before Almighty God, and repented of their sins; they are not truly saved.

God has set aside a Day of Judgment. At that time, God will sort out the true Believers from those who simply say they believe and continue to enjoy their season of sin.

Just make sure that you have a right relationship with God. He will take care of the hypocrites.

Answer 7

The thing is, where YOU dont see her heart, God does. You dont know all she has been through, or where God will take her, but God does. We are all human and ALL make mistakes. Her mistakes may be very visible to you and to others, and perhaps your mistakes and sins are not visible to others but you and God. Dont be jealous my friend. Only God knows.

Someone once told me that its God who, out of a Father's love, bless those very wealthy people who reject Him, because He knows they will not make it to heaven, so He gives them heaven on earth because He loves them too. Meanwhile, their neighbour who loves the Lord and does His will, sits in a poor little house battling to eat - but they gain a mansion in heaven.

Pray for her - pray that the Lord shows her her errors and blesses her. The more you do that, the more love He will give in your heart for her, and thats what you want, isnt it?

Trust the Lord!

Answer 8

When you say she's beautiful and popular, that says much. People like that seem to get it all. It does often seem unfair. But remember, it's men and women (those who want her, at some level, or want to be her, at some level, in other words) who have put her on a pedestal, and lavished on her. Not God. From what you say about her harshness and judgmental nature, I can't imagine God approves of what she's doing.

Answer 9

I wouldn't blame God for this supposed unfairness. Remember, it's the people who always try to please her who are the ones who make her popular.

You said she's beautiful, which may also have something to do with it. Like it or not, people are always going to be nicer to those they find physically attractive. It's just a fact of life -- and one that's not to be blamed on God.

You also said that she's always happy, which may be another reason why everybody's nice to her all the time. Happiness can be contagious, and usually brings out the niceness in people.

It sounds like you're envious of this woman, which might be something about which to have an examination of conscience. Be happy for her.

Answer 10

some people have a fear of success and even though God wants everyone to be happy we humans have a tendency to inhibit success. Sometimes if you quit pouting long enuff you can hear His directions better and learn to appreciate what He has given you instead of pouting about what he hasn't. Or maybe He gives good things to those that are capable of handling the prestige. People that are unhappy with pork and beans are gonna be unhappy with shrimp and steak too.
