God is fair

God is perfectly just and fair. He loves all His children and has given us all an equal chance through our ability to choose for ourselves whether to do good or evil. Long before this life began He commissioned every single one of us to do great things with our time and talents on this earth as the prophet Alma explains:
4 And thus they have been called to this holy calling on account of their faith, while others would reject the Spirit of God on account of the hardness of their hearts and blindness of their minds, while, if it had not been for this they might have had as great privilege as their brethren.
5 Or in fine, in the first place they were on the same standing with their brethren;
See that? In the beginning we were all on equal ground and we all had a fair chance and we are all responsible for where we are now and where we will be tomorrow. Any disadvantage we perceive now in our lives is not because God is cruel or unfair. Indeed, perhaps we are yet to develop a talent that will more than compensate for a perceived disadvantage. Remember the blind man in the scriptures who Christ healed? Christ explained that some people so stricken so that the miracles of God can be manifest through them. 

I believe in a perfectly just and fair God.
