what do you deserve?

Ok.
so i love Law and Order.
Specifically i love Law and Order: SVU(Special Victims Unit)
I like tough moral decisions paired with puzzles. Now, it's no House M.D., but its good. (Like anyone could even compare anything to House! HA!)
But.
Law and Order, much like the judical system itself, has at its very core, this idea of "deserve".
I'm careful in my word choice for two reasons.
1)because the topic of justice is the flip side of the issue and has a million things already written on it.
2)the topic of justice is doomed to fail anyway. Christ isnt fair and neither is life.

What i've found is that a real issue in most peoples issues with other people or life itself, is that they think they "deserve" something other than whats happening.

Now.
The reason this is interesting is because this idea of deserve is a inherently bias idea. The scale is automatically tipped in your favor because...well...your selfish. Some people may indeed say that with pride(indeed, how else can they say it?) and see no problem with the issue. But i feel confident in the conclusion that if they have no problem with being inherently selfish, they are not saved

...but we're missing the point.
The point is this. You may think you deserve a good husband/wife or good job, good education, a second chance, a free meal, or even respect from people in a 20 foot radius.
Sadly. You dont
Ever since you were concieved, you had something that David calls "inequity". In short, its a hopeless bending of your soul to be selfish and sinful.
So. Every second your alive, you breath with your sinful mouth into your sinful lungs that oxygenates your sinful blood so that you may continue sinning all the marrier. With that reality in mind, its easy to conclude that you deserve absolutely nothing in any way, shape or form.
IN FACT
every breath, no matter how labored, painful or shallow, is Gods absolute mercy and grace.
So. If i may challenge who ever reads this. to take the word deserve out of your vocaulary and toss it where IT deserves to go...
