The alabaster jar:)
Something GOd was really showing me today..........
The heart behind her actions.....
Mathew 26:6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, 7a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9“This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”
10Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. 12When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
I desire to be this women of faith an love...And feel like GOd is saying it okay to be this women, more then okay:)
Sometimes i feel as though i don't have alot, not that i need alot but sometimes the world around u keep tellin u need to be more, have more, do more, ect. But some how this women knew that Jesus, was worth giving her most expensive possession:)
When i think about my most expensive possesion, i really think about my time, dreams, desires and so on. Nothing i own i look at as expensive,bc alot of it had been GOds gift>while looking simply'er- I really want to let my life be a daily me pouring that oil for an on Jesus. That serving him an his heart would be top priority~.. I know is hard sometimes... But i fear that if i took the easier route. The end would be empty. Left of black trails, where the dreams of god, bc a left over platter where critters creep to eat, but never recieve the fullness
God dreams of intimacy, with each one of his children...an it may mean laying it all down b4 him~
