"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts." God loves us all unconditionally, but is clear that He is not limited by our petty ideas. In today's Gospel, Jesus tells of the landowner who generously gives a full day's wages to everyone who worked his vineyard, no matter how long. Those who had worked longer are incensed by this lack of "fairness," but the landowner rebukes them for being envious of his generosity.
How much better would our world be if we were not obsessed by pettiness? We continually complain about "fairness" when we are full of envy, yet ignore true fairness when others are left out. We bicker over whether it is proper to stand, sit, or kneel at God's table, when we are blessed to be invited to it at all. God wants more for us, but by limiting our view of God, we limit ourselves as well.
