Mark 14:6
"She hath wrought a good work on Me"
If love does not carry a person beyond themselves, it is not love. If love is always discreet, always wise, always sensible and calculating, never carried beyond itself, it is not love at all. It may be affection, it may be warmth of feeling, but it has not the true nature of love in it.
Have you ever been carried away to do something for God not because it was your duty, but because you loved Him? Have you ever realized that you can bring things to God which are of value to Him. Not Divine, colossal things which could be recorded as marvelous, but ordinary, simple human things which will give evidence to God that your devoted to Him? Have you ever produced in the heart of the Lord Jesus what Mary of Bethany produced?
There are times when it seems as if God watches to see if we will give Him evidence of how much we love Him. Giving all to God is more value than personal holiness. Personal holiness focuses the eye on our own self; we are concerned about the way we walk and talk and look, fearful lest we offend Him. Perfect love casts out all that once we have totally given our self to God. We need to get rid of the notion; "Am I of any use?" And make up our minds that we are not, and we would be near the truth. It is never a question of being of use, but of being of value to God Himself.
