In Matthew 26 v6-13 we have an account of a woman who was misunderstood,and she became the target of criticism,sound familiar.She was told she should have used her resources in a more humane way,instead of wasting it on Jesus.She had poured very precious ointment over His head as act of devotion,it was act of worship on Him who alone is worthy of worship.It appears she had more insight than the apostles,they only saw the waste,she saw His sacrificial death,and she expressed her love and devotion to Him in this lovely way. Jesus revealed to those disciples the true meaning of her action,He reminded them there is a place for helping others,but there is a place for honouring Him. Many will help the poor which is commendable,but will not have a thought for Jesus,they are like the disciples, just focused on the creature and not a thought for the creator.Jesus said that what that lady did would always be remembered,so it is what we do for Jesus ,be it ever so little,or ever so great will be remembered, even though others may think it was a waste
A prayer..../ Dear God help us to honour You even though others may think it a waste in Jesus name Amen ./
