It sounds like a cruel joke being played.I don't understand the reasoning behind this,but I notice that one person might be starved for a certain thing in their lives,but it seems to always elude them--then on the other end, another person gets what the first one wants, to an a degree that's the other extreme, and they actually hate having it!!I could give examples,including with myself compared to others,but let's say, a person with a "slow metabolism" gains weight very easily, wants to lose the excess, but can't. On the other end, we have a skinny person who, no matter what, can't put on the pounds. So here's the "punch line"--one thinks the other "has it made",while the other actually envies the first, and thinks THEY'RE the blessed one!!Some say they're bored with too much time,then there's someone like me who agonizes because I don't have ENOUGH time.Some say they're "lonely" because they're not in touch with enough people--I, on the other hand,feel that instead of putting up with everyones idiosyncrasies and annoying traits, would love to trade places with the "lonely" one.So the question, is, what's up with these "imbalances?"Why does one get what the other wants, and vice versa?Is this just a dissatisfied spirit we have, or an imbalance given us at the Fall?Like, an actual unfairness?

Why is there an imbalance of things?

Jesus alone can balance your life and mine. We are in His hands and we must attend church faithfully to hear Gods word spoken and love everyone who comes in, specially the new comers who need Jesus in their heart.

There is a cure for what you go through Steven as well as for what others go through by reading the Bible, the Words of Jesus and actually following His Instructions. The book of Mathew chapter 6 instructs us to stop thinking about our lives but if we refuse to follow Christ's Instructions are we truly following Christ leading us to Heaven or are we following the devil, inviting the devil to torment us until we change and follow Christ's Instructions which is the only way to be set free from most of the things that bother you?
Do not open the door or even the window to satan to enter in to your heart or mind. If you let him in, then depression, sadness, loneliness and stress will fill your heart. Let the words of the Lord fill your heart with joy and peace. Do not feel lonely, do not feel forsaken or ignored. Attend church faithfully. Get yourself involved with other Christians. Come to midweek prayer meeting and pray for others. Jesus loves you and cares for you. Just draw closer to Him and He will draw closer to you.

My new name for you may well be a parrot, because you repeat the same thing over and over again.

That is really very funny Steven. Do you even realize that you post the same things over and over again? How does that work out for you?

If I put my hand in your cage, would you walk on my finger like the other parrots?

Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life — whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. Look at the ravens. They don't plant or harvest or store food in...
