Not too late...
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’
(Matthew 20:1-7 ESV)
Earlier in His ministry Jesus had commented that the harvest is plentiful and the need for workers is great. In this parable, He indicateiins that God is still calling workers. Even when it seems that it's near the end of the day, and the end of the world, the need for workers will be great. He is still calling. It's not too late to join in, and take part in the purpose God has for you. If you will respond to Him, you're hired.
