But he (householder) replied to one of them, (laborers) “Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity? So the last will be first, and the first last.” Matthew 20:13 – 16

What can I say Lord? Yes, it is Your choice. I can say it isn’t fair. I can express my dislike. But ultimately everything in our lives is up to Your choosing. I must accept that You know best and that You love me unconditionally and be grateful for those major facts. It matters not where I stand in line at the front or the back but it does matter that I am in that line. Am I listening to You. Am I obeying. Are You first in my life. Those issues matter.

Oh how I thank You Lord that You love me and that love is unconditional. You know my heart and You can see that I have a long way to go to let go of some of the things that bother me such as this one. I thank You for your compassion and Your willingness to continue to work with me every day to bring me closer to You. Thank You.

Thank You Lord.
