Are you able to sit at dinner with the Lord today and experience the depth of Luke 7:36-50? What a happening! This ill-reputed woman is courageous or desperate enough to brave the Pharisaical condemnation, walk in to the dinner, and kneel down at the Savior's feet. Then it starts to get messy. You have to remember there are no tissues or napkins as she is crying on, kissing, and pouring oil on His feet. She is using her hair. I'm afraid I am too reserved not to get rather uncomfortable at this emotional outburst. I bet the men around were also. But not Jesus. What He sees is love. Much love. And He actually says, "Her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little". Whoa - so that is the key. I really don't know what a sinner I am.
Lord, I really do want to love You with much love. In this month when we focus so much on love, I am desperate enough to ask You to reveal the sin that is in the way so that I can be forgiven and love you with my whole heart. Thank You for first loving beyond anything imaginable.
