"Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear:
Forget your people and your father's house.
The king is enthralled by your beauty;
Honor him for he is your Lord." Psalm 45:10-11
I love this picture: A woman sitting at her king's feet, him being ENTHRALLED by her beauty. Everything else drowns out...all worries, fears, things of this world. It's a picture of the beauty of simplicity.
It's Mary sitting at Jesus' feet, listening intently, soaking up time with her Savior (Luke 10:39, 41-42).
It's the sinful woman, giving up everything she has for Jesus. She realizes that apart from Him she has no good thing; that she desperately needs Him (Luke 7:37-38, 44-48)
She pours out all she has to give: her tears, her kisses, her wealth. She gives her most prized possessions...the ones that are truly from her heart. She gives Him her best and doesn't withhold anything from her Lord.
She understands that she must come as she is...with what she has to offer...and pour her heart out to Jesus.
This is the BEAUTY of our pure and simple devotion to Jesus:
We come to Him AS WE ARE.
We pour our our HEART, our LOVE, our LIFE.
We don't fear other's words or judgement, because we know that JESUS is most important.
BEING WITH JESUS...All of us...is the greatest gift we have here on earth.
We get to! Amazing!!
We can be real, honest. There is no fear...just LOVE and grace.
These are the moments when transformation truly occurs:
When we meet with Jesus.
