Friday – March 20
Scripture: Luke 7:36–50
Her love is extravagant.
The woman who anoints Jesus disrupts polite religion. She weeps, she kneels, she pours costly
perfume.
Love does not measure carefully.
Those forgiven deeply love deeply.
Perhaps one danger of respectable faith is restrained gratitude. We forget how much we have been forgiven.
Lent rekindles awareness of grace.
What would extravagant gratitude look like? Generous giving? Bold advocacy? Tender mercy?
Love that flows from forgiveness cannot remain contained.
Reflection Questions
- Have I forgotten the depth of
grace given to me?
- Where can gratitude overflow?
- What costly love might I offer?
