"Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?" (Matthew 20:15)
As Jesus put it, the Kingdom of Heaven is like this. The Father is generous with His grace to the 11th hour, wanting all to come and partake in His generosity. Hopefully this doesn't cripple some of us who have dedicated our entire lives to Christ from early on with the complaining and envious spirit that is portrayed in this passage (Matthew 20:11,15). May we ever live with the enjoyment of the Father's great and extravagant grace and acceptance to all who call upon Him, even at the last moments of this earthly existence.
