Natural Justice.

It is our human expectation that God will reward good deeds and punish evil.

This is called Natural Justice.

But this does not seem to take place in reality.

This is because God transcends our human understanding.

God can see deeper than the surface we see.

He knows the reasons why people act the way they do.

Violence, abuse, deceit, fear....

These things cause the problems we face in life.

And so while we expect Natural Justice we never expect it to apply to ourselves.

But God does not judge us or punish us.

He merely withdraws from error.

And when we turn to God at last we encounter mercy, forgiveness, and grace.

This does not stop the evil and madness we experience on Earth.

But it changes us.

We become more benevolent, more relaxed, more generous......

Our fears fall away as we experience the Love of God.

And we become the person we were meant to be.

God restores our soul.

And we find peace.
