“Fairness is often my standard. Justice is God’s standard,” one of my favorite Bible teachers shared on a recent podcast. I stopped what I was doing, paused the recording, and replayed her last statement repeatedly. There was no denying it; those words hit me right between the eyes. In an attempt to shut down any further feelings of conviction, choosing to ignore rather than investigate why this simple statement struck a nerve.
