Thank you for any who might read this. My apologies for not being here on DS as much lately. The spirit is willing, but sometimes the body or mind is weak. Thankful The Lord sees me through, while carrying me the whole way. In this, sometimes I am gained a greater understanding. Things like in Matthew 20:1-16. 

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.  Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.  And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,  and said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went.  Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.  And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’  They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.’ “So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’  And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.  But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.  And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,  saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’  But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?  Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.  Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’  So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”

Matthew 20:1‭-‬16 NKJV

This Parable has great modern meaning. Too many that would call themselves Christians, they look down on the poor. They say that the poor are just lazy, or didn't earn their way. They say that those in need don't deserve help, because they aren't willing to earn it. They say that they worked hard for what they have, and that is why they deserve more. They earned more, and should get more. 

The Lord gives us the gift of eternal life. That is a gift, because He loves us. It is never something to be earned. We are called, and we are chosen. We delight in all that receive that gift. That includes a lifelong missionary, who risked their life daily spreading The Word for decades. It also includes a murderer on Deathrow, just before their execution. Clearly the world would view one more than the other. It is when the world seeps into the Church, that it becomes a very dangerous thing. Prison Missions are important, as well as all Missions. We all will be in Paradise, who Believe. That denarius is priceless. We need to be thankful for it, and that others might receive it too. I am a lifelong Christian, who has endured the suffering of Depression and other things, and I pray I never think I deserve more because of it. The Lord wants us all, but sadly many will not choose Him. That is why any who do choose Him, should be welcomed, encouraged, and loved. We are a Family, a Kingdom, and a Church. We are losers to the world, but the last will be first. Happy to be a loser in The Kingdom Of God, then a winner, who earned it, on this world. I hope this made sense. If you might feel lesser, remember that The Lord chose you. You are important, and Loved. Thank you, and God Bless.
