“Mortal life is inherently unfair. Some people are born in
affluence; others are not. Some have loving parents; others do not. Some live
many years; others, few. And on and on and on. Some individuals make injurious
mistakes even when they are trying to do good. Some choose not to alleviate
unfairness when they could. Distressingly, some individuals use their God-given
agency to hurt others when they never should. My heart aches for those who face
such unfairness, but I declare with all my aching heart that Jesus Christ both
understands unfairness and has the power to provide a remedy. Nothing compares
to the unfairness He endured. It was not fair that He experienced all the pains
and afflictions of mankind. It was not fair that He suffered for my sins and
mistakes and for yours. But He chose to do so because of His love for us and
for Heavenly Father. He understands perfectly what we are experiencing.” – Elder
Dale G. Renlund
