Right here, right now... get this in your head. God is not human. God is infinitely above humanity. Therefore, His logic will not mirror ours. Period.
There will be times where your life as a Christian will seem unfair, and by earthly justice you would be correct. God's logic and sense of justice is much more complicated than ours. Our tiny wrinkly little monkey brains can't even scratch the surface of God's logic, so His sense of justice is even that much more out of bounds.
To give you a simple visual of the contrast between God's logic and ours, imagine standing in front of mile-long wall of 20' x 20' high dice, all red, and all with the one-spot facing out. As far as we're concerned, all there is to this wall is a bunch of single-spotted red dice because that's all we can see. God, however, has the advantage of extra-dimensionality - he can look at the top of the wall of dice. He can see that there is a mile-by-mile solid square of dice, in all colors spread throughout, with numbers one through six sprinkled as randomly as the day is long. While He sees the entire spread of dice and knows all the possibilities they could offer, we wonder why He has such a hardon for red one-spots.
This is where faith comes in. Trust in God. You may be looking at snake-eyes, but God sees a much bigger game... and He's still betting on you.
