God's Job

I just saw some pictures from the Syrian war. One pic has left me pondering about it now. It shows a group of rebellions were praying together after losing some friends. I am sure, somewhere else in town, the military group also prays. Both parties will be asking for God's kindness to save their lives, protect their family, for their victory, the end of the war, or whatever it is. Now this is not about who is wrong or who is right. I suppose they all fight for what they think is right (even though I know most of you are pointing a finger to show me whom you think the demon is).

But you know.... if both groups are good and they kill in order to survive, they're giving a hard job for God to decide whom should be saved first, right? Well, I guess not only them, we all give hard job for God. I honestly always pray for my own goodness first. May my lovely friends, my not-so-lovely friends and acquaintances don't get bad or worse thing, but whatever happens to them, may I and the ones I love dearly be saved first!

May I get better marks than my lazy-irritating friend, even though sometimes she has a good reason for being lazy-irritating. May I get a job before those ugly strangers, even though they look as if they are very promising. Still, I am better than them. So which one should be saved first, me or those people? God's job is so difficult....

For religious people, I know you will tell me that nothing is difficult for God. For atheists, I know exactly what you have in mind too. Only creative comment is welcome :)
