John 12:3 NLT Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance.
Mary was so moved by who Jesus was and what He’s done for her until the common “thank you” wasn’t enough. Mary’s gratefulness led her to worship Jesus in an unusual way. Mary took this expensive perfume and wiped the feet of Jesus with her hair and tears.
When we know God and only God has done great things, our worship should match our gratefulness. We shouldn’t limit our worship to raising our hands and shedding a few tears. We can go beyond that. Like Mary, we can worship Him by freely giving something of value towards His Kingdom. We can commit to getting up 30 minutes earlier every day just to worship Him. If you paint, worship Him through painting. Worship Him while you workout. We can do whatever He puts in our hearts to show our appreciation.
Our worship shouldn’t be limited to a Sunday experience. Worship Him out of your gratitude. Worship Him because you love Him. Worship Him because He’s good. Worship Him in your own way.
