The vineyard caregiver

"'Sir,' the man replied, 'leave it alone for one more year, and I'll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.'" - Luke 13:8-9

In this parable, the vineyard was like Jerusalem and the man taking care of it is God. God's love fo us is exemplified in this instance when instead of killing us for 'not bearing fruit', He is willing to spend more time on us, to 'fertilize' us spiritually so that we may eventually bear fruits and enter his Kingdom as His worthy servants.

PRAYER:
"Heavenly Father, thank you for your wonderful gift of love unto us. The gift that has given us a new lease of life. Father, help me in the remaining days to always live in this new lease of life you have breathed into me. Grant me, O Lord, the strength and courage to pursue victory over daily struggles with temptations of sin. So that when you come, I will be fully sanctified and partake in the glory of your wonderful kingdom in Heaven. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen."
