My only real hope lays in the coming with the King, but he told us He was returning when lest would expect it. Tell we we need to be productive, spreading His word, mainly in the way we walk, with a sprinkle of talk and lot of His Grace.
A lot of times we define ourselves by what we belong to, and sometimes by what we refuse to belong to, and/or allow ourselves to be owned by. We must choose what we serve and/or who we serve. To serve our own self interest can sometimes make us slaves to others' false ideas of what is right, what is justice.
Justice is the act of not having what belongs to you taken away.
Mercy is to withhold punishment for evils that are committed.
Charity is to be given freely not by demand or threat.
When I am able to freely decide how to share what belongs to me, that becomes gift of grace that I receive. But if I demand others to give up what is theirs so that I may have more, then I become a thief and a thug.
These are just random thoughts.
He said to one of them in reply, 'My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? (Or) am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?' Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last."
