"Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment"...
Mary displayed such devoted and affectionate humility to jesus, whom she loved deeply and sincerely. It's hard to think of cleaning someone's feet with your hair right?? BUT the whole thing about Mary cleaning Jesus' feet with her hair was NOT just the action itself. It was the meaning behind the action. Humility. Love.
You may say "Love...?? Everyone loves.." Yes, maybe everyone loves..but I'm talking about love for God. To genuinely love Jesus Christ our Saviour. We should be willing to wash his feet with out hair--in other words willing to do anything to for Him to show how much we love him. Would you wash his feet with you hair just to show Him you love and adore Him...would you shout "Amen" in church just to give him glory regardless of what other thought?? Would you carry your Bible into your work place to show God your are NOT ashamed of him?? There were many people around when Mary washed Jesus' feet with hair. SHE WASN'T ASHAMED! Yes, people spoke out against her...they thought she could use the precious perfume for a better cause. That still didn't stop her from honoring her Lord. We should be like Mary...I WANT to be like Mary. My Jesus suffered on the cruel cross for ME. For my sin--I should show him how much I love him. You should do the same. I challenge you to just brag on Jesus...tell someone about His wonderful love and grace. I mean, come on..He deserves it after all!
I want the feet that go into these' shoes to always give God all the honour and glory.
ditto for the feet that go into these shoes'. ;) :D
