“HIRING ~
WORKERS!”
© 1999 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 6}
Many workers are hired *
to work in the ‘harvest’ field,
Yet the ‘pay’ is just the same
for the ‘hours’ that they yield.
Some worked an ‘hour’
yet others worked ‘all day’,
But, because they ‘agreed to it’
they ALL got the ‘same’ pay!
And so it is in The Kingdom
when GOD’S Servants work for Him,
Some may work for fifty years
while others work only ten!
Yet our ‘pay’ is the same ~
for we did agree,
And the ‘last’ shall be ‘first’
so be ‘Happy’ & ‘full of glee’!
Do not be angry or jealous
because Jesus is so ‘Kind’,
He did no wrong to you
& your ‘agreement’ wasn’t blind.
You knew right from the start
what your ‘pay’ would be,
So ~ work hard for The Master
& serve Him ‘faithfully’! Amen!
* Mt.20:1-16. 1/11/99
