Good morning. In the 14th Chapter of Mark we are told of a woman who comes to Jesus and anoints Him with expensive perfume. The disciples are
displeased that the woman wastes this valuable resource on such a display,
suggesting it could have been sold and the money given to the poor. But Jesus replied, "Leave her alone. Why berate her for doing such a
good thing to me?"
Like Jesus does so often in his earthly ministry, he protects a vulnerable person from criticism and attack and also finds a way to affirm and
bless that person. He emphasizes the good this woman has done.
May we be willing to do the same to others who are generous, kind, and loving to the Lord Jesus!
Gracious Father, open my eyes and help me see those who are doing good
things in the name of Jesus. Amen.
