Mark 14:3-6

familiar story
a woman ..... unnamed ....
pushes her way in where she was not invited nor wanted
men only .... invited men only ...
and here is this woman
daring to enter
and not stay at the edge of the gathering
but push her way right into the centre
right up to the guest of honor
this man called Jesus
and she openly displays her love for this man
she offers all that she has
all that she is
she breaks wide open and offers it all
and there is a beautiful fragrance to her offering
Jesus recognizes the signficance of the fragrance
the others only recognize the cost
all the broken pieces of the jar of her heart
laid at his feet
at the feet of this man Jesus
her heart, not just part of it
but all of it, its entirety,
broken
emptied
and he honors her
all of her
and protects her

I love this man Jesus ...
