He Graciously Received [Mark 14]

8"She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.9"Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

Jesus came to this earth to show us God and to save us for His Kingdom. He did that by entering into this world as a baby who grew up to serve so many hurting people and to confound the wise. He was the ultimate example of a servant and yet He also showed how to be a gracious recipient of the service of others. The perfume the woman poured over Him was an extravagant gift and yet He received it with such grace and appreciation at a time when His agony and death were hours away. Although, God calls you to be His servant, you are also called to be a gracious receiver of His extravagant grace through the Holy Spirit and through His precious people. In fact, you can't be His servant without first receiving and filling with His grace. Many have tried to serve Him in their own strength and got burned out trying.

May you learn to graciously receive all He has for you and so you can be satisfied and spill out that extravagant grace on a hurting world.
