Alabaster Jar

I have an Alabaster jar. It means nothing.

I pour it out.  

He is worthy.

Others wonder. Question.  Criticize. 

But I don’t care. 

It is the world who mocks. 

They say what I give away is something. Important. 

Yet it means nothing. 

I have all I need.

Him……Only Him.

 I imagine His feet. 
                          His hands. 
                                          His eyes as He receives my gift with love. 

I owe Him nothing. My debt He paid. 

Overwhelmed by His grace.

I stand in the shadows, not shouting to be seen. I just hunger for my Savior & long to sit as His feet. 

He has paid all my debts. Now nothing I owe. 

I pour out the oil, the oil the world adores.

How can we put a price on things unseen….like we do on oil, clothes, and other things. 

He bought me my life, a debt I could never pay. 

And when He hung on that cross, I was instantly forgave!

Freedom. Freedom. 

For freedom I was set free. 

I take what I have & give back to Him freely. 

My life isn’t my own. 

Of me, I have nothing I possess. 

I pour the oil slowly & his feet I caress.

For was custom back then was to honor a king. They took of the oil & anointed the esteemed.

So I say as I kneel before the only worthy one. 

You are my King. The anointed. My esteemed.

No other God could offer such grace or pay a man‘s dept by the life He gave. 

No other has the power to take one’s sins away.

Now, I stand. 
                    Renewed.  
                                  Released. 
                                                Restored…..Because Jehovah Rapha, the healer of my soul. 

My humble God.
                         My faithful friend.
                                                  My steadfast Redeemer to the end.

He found me, yes, He found me. Of His mercy I abound. And for the sake of His glory
                
….I simply pour my oil out.
