Pouring out her love

When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. Luke 7 v 37

Lord it is my chief complaint

That my love is weak and faint;

Yet I love thee and adore,

O for grace to love thee more.

(by William Cowper from Lovest Thou Me?)
