It's time to open up, stop being petty, give the best you can, the best of the wealth of your love, your heart.
Remember Mary Magdalene? It seems to me that she is just a trusting follower of Jesus. Her sincerity is enormous. One day she came and poured very valuable perfume on the feet of Jesus. Judas was there and did not miss this opportunity.
He said:
- You should have warned her! This is wasteful! This oil is so valuable... you can't just buy it. People are starving and this incense is so expensive. Why waste it?
It was logical. But what did Jesus answer him? What Jesus answered is very illogical:
“There will always be poor people, when I leave, I can take care of them.” You don't understand this woman's heart. Don’t stop her from pouring incense, expensive, inexpensive, it doesn’t matter. I see a great feeling growing in her heart. This is a prayer... I cannot interfere with her prayer.
Jesus realized that Mary Magdalene had beauty of heart. This is not incense - he looks into a woman's heart.
