Updated Mar 03, 2025

How can we express our love for Christ with the same boldness and devotion as Mary of Bethany? This reflection on her lavish act of anointing Jesus reminds us that no gesture of worship is too extravagant when it comes to honoring our Savior. Let this inspire you to pour out your love for Him without hesitation, no matter how others may perceive it. - Sophia Bricker
