The Alabaster Box

I dare say that most people would consider their earthly life precious and of great worth to themselves and others. Some might say to you or to me, "You have gifts and talents in abundance!" (which I must add, for me, is quite debatable) "You could do so much for Jesus! Use your gifts and talents to do good." In our human wisdom and reasoning this would make perfect, logical sense. But I no longer care to live within the framework of human wisdom or reasoning. I want to live in the mind of Christ. I want to break the alabaster box of my life and pour it out in ministry to the Lord....to be found in service to the King...to be found faithfully doing the Father's will. What care I for what mere men may think? Men are but dust and ashes. I want true substance, virtue and truth in my inward parts. I want to hear the Father say, "This is my beloved daughter, in whom I am well pleased."

Nothing - not even my earthly life is more important than that.

Matthew 26:10 "But Jesus, aware of this, (how the disciples felt about Mary's anointing his head with oil) said to them, ""Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me."
