Please Come!

And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them  with the fragrant oil. Luke 7:37, 38

This woman knew what she was doing, this woman, who in the text is referred to as 'a woman' had this planned a long time ago, there's no way she did this on a whim. She knew what she wanted to do and she went and got it done, she wanted to be forgiven for her sins, which Jesus pointed out in verse 47 of Luke 7, were many. This woman had a plan to push past everything to get what she wanted from her Master. She just had to, she was broken and had to be mended and all she had was the remnants of her past; her alabaster box.

She's strategic, she waited till Jesus was comfortable, she knew that she had to bring the best to The Lord and even if it meant bringing the wages of her prostitution, she brought it anyway. She had to position herself, behind Him because she knew she needed to be led and then she brought her tears, she brought her pain and cleansed Jesus' feet with her pain. She dried her pain with her crown of glory, kissed His feet with lips of praise and them anointed them with a sacrifice which would be a sweet smelling aroma to God.

I could go on and on with this scripture but I hear God calling His ladies, the ones that are so broken they think its no way He loves me now, the ones that have lost their way because of not taking heed to His voice, I hear God calling you home, He's saying come, bring your broken relationship, bring the sexual abuse you suffered at the hand of your father, uncle, brother, close family friend, bring Me your childhood pain, bring me the alcohol and the sex addictions, bring them to Me, lay them at My feet, I died for this, you don't have to bring the cross to Calvary, I already did that, though your sins are many please, please bring them to Me, lay them at My feet and I will make you whole. I will because I know the plans I have for you, to give you hope and a future and an expected end, I will because I have loved you with an everlasting love, I will because I have had a plan for your life from BEFORE you entered the womb, please just come!

And to my brothers, I know the testosterone, ego and pride will try and keep you from coming to God and laying down your hurt, shame, guilt and pain but The Lord is calling you too, if anything The Lord needs men, more spiritual leaders in His church, more sons to lead His daughters, He's calling you because He needs you.

And I, I beg, beseech, implore, ask, petition and pray that everyone will answer His call, if you know someone who needs to read this PASS IT ON. This is for the glory of the Most High King, who loves us all no matter where He has ordained our footsteps to trod, He loves you, He needs you and He's calling YOU!
