WHACKO!

SHE PUMPED WATER INTO THE OCEAN RATHER THAN PUMPING WATER OUT OF IT


This was the claim of an historic incident of a middle-class lady who roughed her way through to a dinner party where the richest man in the universe was being invited. She really struggled and managed to get through to the seat of this young man who was just 33 years old at the time. Getting there, she paid her obeisance in a manner which none of the guest present had done since his arrival, hence, all eyes were on her. However, since the rich man did not send her away, no one could boldly do so, not even his aides. As they watched on, she brought out a very costly oily cream (worth about $100 at the time) and while they taught she wanted to present it to the man, she unsealed it and poured it all on the man's head and it flowed from his head to his toe; everywhere filled with its fragrance. At this time, both the guests and the rich man's aides couldn't hold up in silence any longer and they reacted... Called her stupid, whacko, ignorant etc; they claimed SHE PUMPED WATER INTO THE OCEAN rather than pump out.
Then,the rich man stood and lifted up the poor lady who had been kneeling all the while, and said "Many of you have not thought to give me any of your possession, not even the cheapest, because you think I have it all, lacking nothing but this lady, in her understanding, gave the best she ever possessed without my request, yet you chastise her while you do not know she has really pleased me as I was needing the service at the exact time she came. For this cause, her munificence has bought her an everlasting inheritance in my possessions". Thus, in every accounts of the rich man, the poor lady's story was always found in the records.
Dear readers, this typical story of Jesus and the lady with the Alabaster box is teaching a vital lesson of truth today. Truly, God is the possessor of heaven and earth, lacking nothing but many are seeming to forget that easily. Yourself and all you have are His possession and even though He is not demanding any, give to Him what He deserves; I tell it to you, HE DESERVES NOTHING LESS THAN YOUR BEST. Don't be as other ungrateful guests and aides who never understood their special guest. As much as you seek to be blessed by Him, much more seek to bless Him... I WILL BLESS THE LORD!
WILL YOU?
