Today’s Scripture: Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven–for she loved much. But he, who is forgiven little, loves little.” Luke 7:47 ESV
How much do you love Jesus? Really, how much? “I LOVE MUCH” sounds awkward but in light of this story of the woman with Jesus it makes perfect sense. Can you relate?
This woman who had many sins sought after and loved Jesus with such passion that she followed him into the Pharisee’s home, which I am sure she was not welcomed and wept at Jesus’ feet. She wept enough to wet His feet and dried them with her hair. She kissed his feet out of much love and thanksgiving.
Have you had many sins? Have you been forgiven much? How much are you thankful to Him who has forgiven ALL of your sins? Jesus, I am so very thankful and I love much. Thank you for forgiving my many sins.
Today’s Prayer: Jesus, Thank You for forgiving me. I will follow You anywhere and I love You much. O LORD, my sins are many and Your grace overwhelms me. I too bow to kiss Your feet. Although I am not worthy You first loved me with such love I can not comprehend but in the abundance of Your love, I love. I love You Jesus and my heart cries out thanksgivings to You. Amen

Was reading the other day tom about the widow who gave her mite. Jesus called it (in original) “the more sacrifice.” just like you lady…I think she gave much because she loved much. How I pray I can have a heart like that. Good thoughts today.
Thanks Bill, thanks for sharing “the more sacrifice”. May we love much and give much!!
