When I talk about working in God’s vineyard I do not mean that you are necessarily employed directly by the church. I mean in your chosen vocation, as a doctor, as a lawyer, as a merchant, as a teacher, wherever you work and whatever you do in that capacity. In that office, in that place, you have a marvelous opportunity to labor in the vineyard of God and to be his servant and to be his instrument and to build his kingdom there. Regardless of who you are or what you do, regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or been rejected by others in days gone by, you can be assured of this: our Lord seeks you to work in his vineyard. And if you want your life to count for the highest and best, you need to go to work for him.
