"Faith does not know why in terms of the immediate,
but it knows why it trusts God Who knows why in terms of the ultimate."

About Me
- Mary
- I love the Lord Jesus Christ and the life that He gives. I live with my parents and siblings in the quiet Ozark hills. Contact me at: wewouldseejesus {at} gmail {dot} com.
Worthy of Our Best
"There came unto Him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head as he sat at meat. But when His disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, 'To what purpose is this waste?'" Matthew 26:7-8
Throughout the past twenty centuries thousands of precious lives, heart treasures, high positions, and golden futures have been "wasted" upon the Lord Jesus. To those who love Him in such a way He is altogether lovely and worthy of their offering. What they have poured upon Him is not a waste but a fragrant testimony of His sweetness and worthiness.
