She Was His Sister, She Was His Friend

one of my favorite scriptures by far is the one about the woman with the alabaster jar she took a box of expensive oils and poured it over Jesus' head she anointed Him with this precious gift, yet the men rebuked her instead they could not comprehend why she performed this deed Jesus told them "leave her alone" for she understands My need this perfume costs a good penny and could have been used for the poor but she has prepared me for my death, as I won't be with you anymore she possesses a spirit of discernment and spiritually understands that I, Jesus of Nazareth am God in the flesh, The Son of Man I Am The Messiah, I Am The Deliverer and I Am The Savior My purpose to show mankind how to live with god-like behavior she was His sister, she was His friend she possessed a spirit of discernment for one to hear the voice of God, you must learn to open your ears don't allow the thoughts of man nor the devil to intercede nor interfere for the devil is a liar, a rascal and a spiritual thief he will wreck havoc in your life and won't give you any relief he will bring down upon you demons of destruction follow the Word of Jesus Christ for He gives positive instruction Jesus, a manifestation of God came to give us the breath of life He came to show us The Way and how to deal with struggle and strife He came as our advocate and to help us fight the good fight and defend ourselves from the adversary with a good right in the house of Simon amidst a group of men Mary, the woman with the alabaster box became to Jesus a friend the spirit of discernment is not in the hearts of most not everyone can detect nor sense the spirit of the Holy Ghost we tend to be ruled by the desires of the flesh and can't seem to change our behavior we have to let go of the thoughts of man and look to Jesus Christ the Savior so be careful who you talk to and be careful of whom you ask for advice be careful that who you listen to possesses the spirituality of Jesus Christ do you do deeds for earthly recognition to receive applauds and gratitude? or do you do deeds from the heart just because the are the right thing to do? Jesus found a true friend in that woman when she did him a good turn and He declared as long as the Gospel is preached, her good deed will forever be learned with her oils on His head, her tears on His feet she used her hair to dry them Mary, a woman of discernment she was His sister, she was His friend
