No better opportunity out there ...it's absolutely the best!!

It's not very often when someone so young is chosen.

How could it be explained ...why people find if difficult when youth are chosen??

Well, it does require travel, and being away from home.

And though many object to the selection process ...it is by far the greatest honor to be chosen.

What about the rest of us who are not chosen??

Well, we have to wait ...and get more experience.

I know that may not seem fair, but that's the way it is.

Some of us are eager ...most of us are anxious.

We live in the here & now ...

We don't want to wait ...we want all we can get today, not look forward to a distant hope in the future, which we've become at times to doubt even exists.

Yes, I'm talking about our future in Heaven.

It does seem often unfair to us when such a young loved one dies ...yet, if they believed in Jesus, then the realization of those beliefs for that youth, in proper perspective, would rather seem unfair for us.  And if they are very young, and not to the age of accountability ...we mostly agree that they are not held accountable for beliefs.  Yet, we often say, "They were so young ...it should have been me!!" But, in saying this, we are not looking at it as not being fair that they go to Heaven before us, that they should have been more experienced, or as it is said, "They need to earn their stripes."

Jesus earned the stripes for us.

Though it's not unfair ...the saying still remains, "Life is not fair!!"

But, life is fair ...we just don't understand it at times.
