Who in the world told you that? Life is about learning and benefiting from the tragedies or pitfalls we come across. God only gives us what we can handle and He loves us all unconditionally. We are all here for reasons other than to satisfy ourselves. If you've had to overcome or are in the process of overcoming tragedies, heartaches, poverty, or hatred etc. then I'd say that God loves and trusts you greatly. He trusts that you will benefit and go on to help others by understanding and not judging. Some people think that their world's are ending and they feel unloved. Once you can overcome the sadness and bitterness felt toward God or others that seem to have it easier then you, you will be a kinder, more loving individual who can help others that are in the shoes you once wore. One of my favorite verses in the bible is Matthew 7:1 (Judge not less thou shalt be judged.) Judging causes bitterness and hatred. Please don't be one that judges. I've had a life that many would feel sorry for me for having. I don't want pity. It does no one any good. Yes, I've had many obstacles to overcome and have had a difficult time overcoming them but I'm much stronger now than I was. I understand so much more than I would have if I'd had been born with a silver spoon or didn't have any challenges to overcome. I'm happy! Even though I'm a single mother of 3, I drive a car that is 13 years old, I live in a home that I never dreamed I would live in (it's not horrible but it's definately not the home I was use to), my exhusband left us while I was pregnant with my 3rd daughter, he signed his rights away to our children... That's just the tip of it. There are so many more factors I could focus on but, I choose not to focus on any of them because I know that everything happens for a reason and I can only grow from these "pitfalls" in my life. I can only become stronger and learn. I don't harbor anger and wonder... WHY ME? It causes pain and I don't want to feel that pain. And please remember that DESIRE does cause PAIN. It's ok to want things in your life and strive for them but don't feel worthless if you haven't achieved those goals. After all... you're only human. Do the best you can and good will come your way. It always does. Sometimes you just have to be patient. God really does love you the same that he loves others. Think positive and you'll be up there with the ones that you think he loves more than some before you know it. Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Hi, I am Rational Spirituality,
which is the Truth about God conveyed from the Source. I am pleased to tell you that God is just in every aspect. He loves everyone to the level they deserve. Surely, you would agree that someone like mother Teresa would deserve more love from God than Fred West (a sexual serial killer from Gloucestershire, UK).
But I agree with you that life on Earth is unjust, and in a way, that is the purpose. Life on Earth is just a testing ground, a school in which people can develop their abilities and strengths as Souls, or show the abyss of their character.

It depends on the religion we're speaking of. For example: some Protestants believe that their faith and after life (weather they'll be condemned or saved from hell) is already a set issue so they elieve there's nothing that they can do. But with hard work, studying the Bible they can know their future. That's why getting rich is not a sin in this religion, they think the amount of money and wealth they have is proportional to God's likening. So not all people are equal.

God gives the problems to those he feels are strong enough to take them, it's just that sometimes he pushes his luck!
I've had a belly full of stress most of my life, unhappy childhood, losing a son, crap relationships etc., then my life changed dramatically a couple of months ago and I feel that I am finally being rewarded for the crap I've had to deal with. It's now that i look back and see that everything happens for a reason, without most of my past being the way it had I wouldn't be where I am today and a much stronger person. I believe I'm the happiest I've ever been.

You might try asking God about this.
I doubt seriously that anyone else would do more than guess.
The problem is that God tends to not answer questions like this.
Imagine, if God/Allah were to appear over Israel/Palestine and say in his best booming James Earl Jones voice"
"You people! Over THERE!" "You people! Over HERE!"
It might just solve all the killing and shooting.
But God, for His own reasons, has chosen to remain rather silent.

God loves each and every one of us equally. There is no "favorites" no "pets" and yes, he loved us from the time we was born till the time we die, and that includes ALL, even the convicted criminals and Jesus said it to to the adulteress, Mary Magdalen. So you see, he loves everyone, even IF they have sinned.
We create our own unjust life. No one lives our lives but our own selves we are accountable for our own decisions and actions.

God loves us all the same because we are the essences of God. Things seem unjust only when our perception of it does and so when it is our perception then is it really true???

God loves everyone equally, sinner or not, hard-praying or not. Because God is (this is the important bit ) unlike MAN. God is God becos he is not man. Man has characteristics which differ from God, all the bad characteristics which man possesses; God does NOT have. Imagine God having characteristics such as jealousy, hatred, lying, spitefulness etc... what woud it be like!
God is all forgiving, all merciful and loving. Hope i explained it well!

God loves every single person exatly the same. The reason the world is in the state is in can be explained: God cannot force people to love him as much as he loves us, He gave us the choice to love him or not... it is called FREE WILL. God is love. Without Him we have no love thus the world is in the state it is. ONLY WE can change that. God have give US that choice.

I believe that it is God's nature to love and that everyone is loved the same.
I didnt understand love until I became a mother. I love all my children the same. I love them whatever they do, I cant help it. I dont always like what they do. Sometimes I feel extra proud of one when they do something good but always, always I love them.
I believe that God's love is like that, only better. He loves us all the same, whether we pray every day or ignore Him totally, whether we are kind or cruel.
If we love God, we try to do things that please Him but we cant make Him love us more than He does.
