How Much Do You Love?

Luke 7:44-47 (NKJV)
⁴⁴ Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. ⁴⁵ You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. ⁴⁶ You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. ⁴⁷ Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

One of the saddest commentaries we can hear about is someone who can't understand or comprehend neither the goodness of God nor the greatness of God's gift.  We refer to a thankless person as an ingrate because of the lack of expression of appreciation. This principle is loud and clear in this passage of scripture as Jesus admonishes, that the one who is forgiven little, loves little. The truth is when you begin to comprehend the magnitude of what Christ has done on your behalf; you can't help but to love much. Thanksgiving and gratitude is birthed out of illumination and revelation of the knowledge of God.

I pray that your heart would overflow with love for Jesus. May you realize that there is no one on earth that loves you the way HE does. Give thanks always. LOVE MUCH!

Be Blessed by following HIM,
