What the world calls waste, Jesus calls worship, your sacrifice for Him is never overlooked. Bold, extravagant faith stands out in a culture that misunderstands true devotion.
“She has done a beautiful thing to me.” — Mark 14:6
When a woman poured her expensive perfume on Jesus, she offered Him something costly and deeply personal. There were others there who criticized her, but unlike them Jesus saw and knew her heart. Always consider that true worship is not measured by what others think, it’s measured by love and sacrifice. As we approach Easter something to look at and consider is: are we giving Jesus our leftovers, or our best? Never forget to remember that worship that prepares us for the cross is always going to be costly, but it will always be worth it.

Give something meaningful to God today; your time, attention, or a sacrifice that stretches you.
