LOVE LETTERS|DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SINGLES|DAY 255

Scripture for today

Mark 14:3 AMPC

And while He was in Bethany, [a guest] in the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining [at table], a woman came with an alabaster jar of ointment (perfume) of pure nard, very costly and precious; and she broke the jar and poured [the perfume] over His head.

The woman broke her jar of oil. The Alabaster Box historical is said to be a dowry the woman  presents to the man who marries her. I can imagine if we live in those days now when every woman has one alabaster box she keeps so much for her husband. Every single woman will guard  hers Jealousy but reading about this woman we realize she wasn't ready to wait anymore she gave her all and most pricey possession to her Jesus. 

It leads me to ask this question “Why wait till you are married to spend what you have for Jesus? You are to give him your all your life and your everything even if it is the last you have.  Dear singles, spend yourself for Jesus until there is nothing more to be spent. 

In CeCe Winans’s song, The Alabaster Box, she sings the following lyrics:

And though she spoke no words

Everything she said was heard

As she poured her love for the Master

From her box of alabaster.

Pour your love for the Master Jesus. He is all you can ever have or ever become. 

Prayer: Father, help me pour my all for you.
