God is more than fair
I have been reading and thinking about Matthew 20:1-16 for the last two days. I can't get past this section of scripture.
I know in reading this scripture, most people would say... that isj ust not fair. Now, I have heard many times in response to that comment that, "Right! Thank God life is not fair!" "If life was fair then every one of us deserve to be cast into hell and the key thrown away." I am so glad that life isn ot fair. I realize that if I was left to my own devices... that I would have ruined myl ife a long time ago. Inf act, I have tried. But I am so thankful that Godk ept me from doing that. So, I have been saved for 34 years. Andm nost of those years havef been lived as a productive believer. But, when I stand before God, next to the guy who just got saved yesterday. And God says, "Well done good and faithful servant!" to me, and then says the same thing to the newbie next to me. Do you think I'll be jealous!! No way! Especially after I get a glimpse of the hell that God saved me out of. I have been so blessed in this life alone for giving my life to Him. I am blessed with peace. I am blessed with hearing His voice. I am blessed with love for my God and my fellow man. In this Christian walk... we are not to compare ourself with anyother. Because we can not see the inward heart of a man. Only God can! Thank Him for His grace!
