Mark 14:6-8 (NLT) 6 But Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. Why criticize her for doing such a good thing to me? 7 You will always have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to. But you will not always have me. 8 She has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time.
This woman came to Jesus with her expensive perfume and immediately poured it on His feet and began to wash His feet. “Some” of the disciples we’re indignant and began to scold her. Jesus’ response – “Leave her alone – she is doing a good thing.” We are often judged by others about our motives and criticized on how we handled things. As a result – our spirit shuts down and we can’t seem to move forward in what God wants for our life. I think that all of us need to hear Jesus’ words – “he/she is doing a good thing.” We must give what we can to God and know that God accepts our gifts of love and sees our hearts.
