In a true honor to serve God, and He seeks people with hearts willing to be part of the plans He has for humanity; In the parable of the vineyard Jesus speaks to his disciples to explain to them how God selects the workers to work in His work.

Let us read the Word of God in Matthew 20: 1-16 "For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man, a householder, who went out in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. And having agreed with the workers in a denarius a day, he sent them to his vineyard. Leaving close to the third hour of the day, he saw others who were in the plaza unoccupied; and he said to them, "You also go into my vineyard, and I will give you what is just. And they were. He went out again around the sixth and ninth hours, and did the same. And leaving near the eleventh hour, he found others who were unemployed; and he said to them: Why are you here all day unoccupied? They said: Because nobody has hired us. He said to them, "Go also to the vineyard, and you will receive what is just. When the night came, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting from the last to the first. And when those who had come near the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius. When the first also came, they thought that they should receive more; but they also each received a denarius. And when they received it, they murmured against the father of the family, saying: These last have worked a single hour, and you have made them equal to us, that we have borne the burden and the heat of the day. He, responding, said to one of them: Friend, I do not harm you; Did not you agree with me on a denarius? Take what is yours, and go; but I want to give to this last, as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own? Or are you envious because I am generous? Thus, the first will be last, and the last, first; because many are called, but few are chosen. "

God, as lord of the work, chooses whoever he wishes, at the moment he wants, and cancels his remuneration according to what is just, and for this all are called but according to the fruits and disposition he takes them into His service, being the time and trials that forge the heart and character of the servants.

The owner of the vineyard is always looking for more workers to hire, because there is much work to be done, there is work for all those with humble hearts, willing to make a pact, and to put hands to work.

To God belong all things and He is in charge of our payment, God guarantees a good remuneration for those who are found faithful to God, whom they will persevere in the Lord's work, obtaining the best pay that we can receive that is our life in eternity, but it is also true that here on earth we are also rewarded by the blessings of God poured out in our lives.

Now, to receive this we must conquer the false gods that seek to take God's place in our lives, distractions that demand sacrifices and come to occupy the first place in our lives, consuming our time, effort, and money, generating on the other hand Excessive ambition, greed, and false success.

Do not miss the blessings of serving, look, glorify God serving in the church has a purpose of salvation but we always say that salvation is not for works, but God has placed you in His church so you can be built, work in the work, and serve him; and if we allow ourselves to remain the same it means that we are neglecting God's purpose for our salvation and that of others.

Sort:  

The goal is to serve God, he provides us with all the resources, tools and talents for that purpose.
