Contributing To the Story (Part 2): Enhancing God's Glory

we have a tendency to develop a foolish pride when we see our name on anything be it an award, certificate, team jersey or a championship ring we think we need titles to feel important in life but none of that contributes to the story that is Jesus the Christ your name on a jersey won't make you play better a title after your name won't change the content of a letter your name on a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame doesn't guarantee you a life of happiness without some pain so what have you contributed to God's story? what have you done to enhance His glory? In the Scriptures there's this woman who anointed Jesus with an expensive oil yet only one person is referred to in the text and that's by his negative foil he was denoted by his affliction, his disease was brought to attention he then had the nerve to criticize that woman for her unselfish deed until Jesus told him to "leave her alone" because for Me she fulfilled a need that man seemed to be more worried about the oil's cost and couldn't perceive that the life of Jesus was about to be lost he acted like he was so concerned about the ever-present poor but Jesus saw through the hypocracy that he tried to implore that woman was spiritually motivated when she made that sacrifice she contributed all she had to the story that is Jesus the Christ God only desires that you do the best that you can when wholly subscribing to His righteous plans yet that woman with the alabaster jar her name is never mentioned but her contribution to the Biblical story has gotten everlasting attention in the scheme of life your name is not that important and a title won't make you great as it's only what you've contributed to the story or done to enhance the faith
