The aroma of true worship… it fills the room.
True worship has no regard for onlookers. It has no worries
about being misunderstood. It has no fear of judgment. It is unmistakable, but
not always understandable.
True worship has no desire to promote the worshiper. Its
only desire is for the Object of worship… to promote Him, not self.
True worship is not practical. It is not sensible. It is not
socially or politically correct.
True worship comes only from broken vessels. Broken vessels
give freely… they cannot hold it in. The oil spills out… runs down… the
fragrance rises up.
Unbroken vessels cannot give up their contents. The do not
give freely. They hold it in for safe keeping… keep it for self or for those
who can repay.
But true worship gives all. Pours all out… Holds nothing
back. No offering is too valuable or costly. Nothing could be put to better
use.
And it cannot be kept secret—its fragrance fills the room.
John 12:1-11

I would love to hear from you! Let me know what you think and how I can pray for you. Most of us are carrying some pretty heavy baggage and the good news is, you don't have to carry it alone! You can lay it at the feet of Jesus, and sometimes we need help just letting go of our baggage and not picking it up again. We're in this together!
