I listened to a meditation today based on Matthew 26:6-10. It was about a woman who anointed Jesus with expensive oil while he was at dinner with several apostles and others. The meditation describes the woman as someone filled with gratitude and love for Jesus. It was suggested that her life was changed by Jesus, perhaps He healed her. She was responding in the best way that she possibly could by bringing the most extravagant thing she own and giving it to Jesus. At the end of the meditation was a prayer asking God for the courage and strength to love completely unselfishly – to give all to the One who gives us all. I was reminded again of my own personal healing and how I should be responding in grateful love to the Lord. I realized how much work I have to do in this area and appreciated the prayer for courage and strength.

I Found God today in a grateful, loving response to Him.
