2 Peter 2:9

"then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,"

There is always hope.  You always have a choice.  You are never alone because God is there ready to help if you trust in Him.  Trust Him and live life as best as you know He wants you to and He will take care of the rest.

Sometimes it seems like those who do not have high standards in the same way we have high standards are not getting what is due them or that they get the easy life.

It isn't so bad.  Afterall, God is gladly saving whoever He can because He cares so much.  Those who don't return it pretty much refused the pardon He has for them... making it the unpardonable sin because they wouldn't take the pardon.

So they will face the consequences... in time.

It isn't anyone's place to try to rush that.  God will be the judge of what happens when.

We should live life as good people.  If hard times comes and we are tempted to think, say, or do something that isn't right or good in God's eyes, then God will provide a way out.

There was once a story I was reading.  A fantasy story with no bearing on real life.  In this story, an orphan was being raised by an assassin to be his successor.  The orphan remembered his child hood sweetheart who, despite the damage done to her face by a man with a knife, was pure in heart because of her belief in the One True God.  In this fantasy story, the orphan faced a problem.  His tutor stood before him holding the item that was worth a kingdom and said no witnesses could be left, that the orphan's childhood sweetheart, who happened to be laying unconscious in the room, had to die.  The orphan faced a decision, kill the sweetheart as commanded or kill his mentor in rebellion.  He found a third option that no one had considered (he was the main character after all and had to live.)  He bowed before his mentor and said she had only seen him, to kill him in place of the girl so that his beloved mentor and beloved sweetheart could both live.

It was a third option that no one saw coming.  (All three lived, no worries.)

There is always another option.  The devil will try to claim it's too late, you've gone too far, or some other such rubbish.  Don't listen to him.  He wants your death and to cheat you of the inheritance God has for you.  God will always save you if you let Him.  Trust in God and live as best as you can.  God will take care of the rest.  Humans mess up.  That doesn't make it the end of the world.  Still, even then, trust in God.
