Having an alabaster heart

Read Mark 14:3-9.

Is there anything in your life that is very precious to you? This woman's jar of oil made of alabaster (a very fragile material) was worth an entire year's salary. And now she "wasted" it on Jesus. Wow, what generosity!

This woman's act was an act of lavish love and worship, and the fragrance of her action filled the whole house and touched the heart of Jesus. 

Prayer, Get Free & Next Step:

Engage in a dialogue with Jesus and let Him show you which part of your resources you may waste on Him. Do you think you have far too little time?

What rustles inside you when you reread this passage from the Bible?

If nothing comes to your mind right now, not even good thoughts, then make the decision to give Jesus your bad thoughts so that He can fill you and make room for His good intentions in your life.

“How precious are your thoughts concerning me, O God! How vast in number they are!” (Psalm 139:17) 

I am excited by the thought of letting Jesus shape my heart so that the aroma of my heart fills the whole house and all my surroundings.
