Extravagant Worship

A woman came in
To adore the One who showed her love
To worship the One who rescued her, set her free, gave her worth...
To bless the One who caused her heart to sing
The One who took the burden of pain, worry, and heaviness from her...

Her joy, her freedom, her gratitude
Brought her to adoration and generosity...

She came to Him with the only valuable item she had...
Desiring to give Him everything,
Desiring to bless the One who had touched her
The One who had put meaning and purpose into her life...

She poured it out...this valuable, fragrant oil...
Over His head, dripping it down over His body
Desiring only to give, to bless, to adore, to worship Him.

The extravagant gesture blessed the Lord...
He saw her heart
And warmly accepted this gift of love.

Those around him saw this picture differently.
"Crazy woman, wasted money," they growled.

Father
I desire eyes to see as You do
And a heart that extravagantly adores You!

Mark 26
