Give What You Can

we live in a star struck society being a celebrity is now the game we seem to cheer louder for professional athletes and people with well known names we also have a desire to be just like them if we could choose and many feel that being a celebrity is the key to the fountain of youth but what people fail to see or even comprehend is that celebrities are nothing more than mere women and men and that there is no special powers that a famous person obtains just because everybody knows your face and your name and when it come to Jesus He doesn't care about your status nor place He will welcome you in the spirit of love, mercy and grace He will sit at the table with you and share a simple meal some bread and wine in the spirit of communion and an acceptance so real God does not care if you're a celebrity or a superstar if that were the case the Bible would not mention the women with the alabaster jar she was not a woman of status, wealth nor celebrity but she gave what she could to acknowledge Jesus' godly authority yet those men in the room rebuked her for her generous act until Jesus stood up for her in the midst of their verbal attack He told them "leave her alone, as for Me she has done a good thing" she gave Me her best, she anointed Me with fine oil as her true King what people can't understand nor comprehend is that by doing things in Jesus' name blessings God will send she broke open that alabaster jar she opened her soul to Christ she gave what she could she gave the best that she had in life give what you can that is all that Lord God desires for you to give from the heart and with true faith to be inspired to understand that being famous is not such a big to-do but to be recognized by God and know that He loves you
