God’s love is gratuitous and extravagant.

Matthew 20:15-16

“Are you envious because I am generous? Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

In Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard, the owner pays the workers the same daily wage whether they worked all day or were hired late in the day.

The people who worked the longest griped about the ones who worked fewer hours getting the same pay as they did.

That’s when the owner makes the above comment.

The  point of the story is this: God’s love is unconditional and generous.

Everyone receives the full outpouring of God’s love because it has nothing to do with earning it.

It is always offered…but it’s up to each person if they want to accept it.

I’m sure that God wants each of us to be glad that everyone receives such love and not be envious or angry. 

In the Kingdom of God, nobody is “first” and nobody “last.”

That’s because all are equally loved. And for that…I am eternally grateful!

May we all grow to love as God loves.

And may we all yearn that everyone would come to know this amazing Love.
