This has been a pretty rough week to be honest. I can talk a bit about it tomorrow, but I just needed some time with Jesus tonight, so I sat down and prayed and reflected with him to some music. I just have this overwhelming feeling of gratefulness, of how blessed I am. God has granted me so much and its so easy to take it for granted.
I was roaming through the book of John and I feel like God has pointed out the story of Mary anointing Jesus with her perfume. John 12: 1-8
When I look at this passage I don't want to be Judas or think like him. I don't want to have that practical mind and miss out on Jesus right in front of me. I want to have a spirit like Marys and I want to have that appreciation. So my prayer right now is that I wouldn't take what I have for granted. The way I want to practically apply this passage is by taking this next week and if anyone is leaving my apartment to offer them a ride home. This is because our apartment is like the community apartment for InterVarsity and so a lot of people track through, and a lot of people end up having to walk back home either alone or in the cold. So I want to use the blessing God has given to me and share it. I want my house to be filled with the fragrance of gratitude and love like Mary's was with the smell of perfume.
