And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”  Luke 13:30

Lord I must confess that this verse has always been a thorn in my side.  It has always shown me that I have a long way to go in my walk with You.  This verse bothers me because it lets those that have rejected You and then turn to You at the end of their lives go to the front of the line.  That has always seemed so unfair to me.  It is certainly something that has caused me to ask forgiveness for my attitude and yet the feelings still lurk at me when I read it.  I once again must ask Your forgiveness Lord.
Yes, Lord I am so often reminded when I say ‘well that just isn’t right’ that does not always look fair.

But Lord I know You are fair and because I know that I have to accept that there is a whole lot that I don’t understand.

Thank You Lord that You continue to love me unconditionally while I am in the process of becoming more and more like you.

Thank You that at the right time You will open my eyes of understanding and help me see.

Thank You for Your patience.

Thank You Lord.
