The Graciousness of God

Matthew 20.  

There are sometimes good people, benefactors in our lives who are generous with us and help us out; they are a blessing to us without our deserving their generosity.  How much more our God is generous with us who have faith in Him and call upon Him!  

Even in the Fallen world, God showers blessings upon us . . . . That is what the parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard is about-God's graciousness beyond our deserving.
