WHAT'S THE WORD?
NOTES:
The owner of the vineyard saw workers who were all equal and deserving of the same wage. The workers who had worked longer were envious of those who hardly had to work at all for the same wage. God views all of us as equal and deserving. We do not have to earn God's love and mercy.
ENRICH MY SPIRIT
When I think about the gifts that God has given me, I am thankful for...
HOLY SPIRIT, HELP ME TO PRAY
Lord Jesus, your love knows no bounds and I am humbled that you gave your life for me, though I am undeserving. I promise to be an example of your love to others without judgment. Amen.
