Oh my! God's generosity just does not always seem right. (Matthew 20:1-19) Would you believe that He is like the manager who decided to give workers on the short shift the same pay as those sweating it out all day? And those tired guys are mad.
How hard it is for us not to judge. For some reason we can't get it into our heads that rewards from God are gifts and not a result of our hard work. He can give to whomever and however He wants to. God's economy may look upside down to us, but we would do well to be grateful for the gifts we receive and leave the judging to Him.
Lord, please touch our jealous squinty eyes so that we begin to see others with generosity and mercy as You do.
