The Blessings from The Surrendered Life
“Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.” – John 12:3
The lady gave a precious gift with value and great cost.
Someone felt it wasted and such an awful loss.
Anointed feet of Jesus, were wiped with Mary’s hair.
Her glory she surrendered, while fragrance filled the air.
The ointment box was opened; A wealth on Him she spilled.
A life with full surrender; A love so pure and real.
Mary’s box was broken and many there were blessed.
A sweet aroma filled the room, when she gave her best.
The treasure of surrender, has value more than gold.
A humble heart with gratitude, God’s pleasure will unfold.
A life of selfless living and the giving of our best.
Affords the greatest blessing and secures the greatest rest.
