The familiar parable of the landowner who hire workers from dawn to late afternoon reminds us that there is really no timeline for God's action in our lives. (Mt 20: 1-16). The workers hired at the last hour received the same wages as those who worked all day...These did not understand the largesse of the landowner and expressed their resentment. But the kind land owner explained that it was his right to dole our wages as he saw best and put the complainers to rest with his kindness to them and to the latecomers.
When we feel that it is "too late" for us to benefit from God's forgiveness or kindness, may we remember that God has no timeline. It's all a big NOW for him and being late does not exist.
