The Story Is Not Over Yet…

There are some very skilled writers who can take you down one road as you read their story and have you convinced that you thoroughly understand both the plot and the characters, only to find at the end – a surprise twist that reveals that he had masked both the plot and the nature of the characters to come up with a surprise ending!

Life is kind of like those gifted writers, just when you think that you have it all figured out – and you know the characters that you are dealing with – up comes a make-over of a rebel, who in effect was a sheep in wolf’s clothing all the time. As the colloquial expression goes, “it ain’t over, until God says it’s over!” A scripture come to mind immediately:

Matthew 20:2-14 (King James Version)

2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

4And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

7They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

8So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

10But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

11And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

12Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

14Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

It is NOT over, until it is over – there are many that will be sent out in this latter day who will finally get it – and begin their work for the Master – and make heaven their home! Can we be as just as our Lord, and have compassion on those who have made wrong decisions, and poor choices – and open up our arms and say, “Come and go with me, to my Father’s house?” – knowing that He is a merciful God and will give them equal status to those who have bore the heat of many years of service?
