Today I am the woman at the feet of Jesus... being a notorious sinner, so undeserving of His presence, yet by and through His grace I am saved by my faith. Only because I am realizing the depth of my sin can I grasp the complete forgiveness offered to me. Whom does He love more? The debtor of 500 denarii, forgiven, or of 50? The sinner who has sinned much, and confesses, or the sinner whose sins are barely noticeable?
A person who is forgiven little, shows little love. This love consumes me because I am understanding the depths of my life of contempt, and the renewing and cleansing of my life as His!
If a woman can use the most costly oil to cleanse the feet of a man, what will be my sacrifice? Are my tears of gratitude enough to even begin to service the feet washing? I long for humility that surpasses where I am today. Let me be the woman at His feet.

HELLO FELICIA,
JUST READ SOME OF YOUR BLOGS AND WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I WENT TO NEW ORLEANS TOO BACK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR.
I WENT TO VISIT A CHILDHOOD FRIEND AND SHE TOOK ME TO SEE THE DEVASTATION KATRINA LEFT BEHIND. CHILLING TO THINK THAT THAT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS AGO AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A WAR ZONE.
I REALLY ADMIRE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO BRING THEIR CITY BACK. I MUST SAY I'M NOT SURE I COULD BE SO POSITIVE. I MEAN WHERE DO THEY START TO CLEAN IT ALL UP?
ANYWAY I ENJOYED READING YOUR HEART. GOD BLESS YOU.
LOVE AND PRAYERS,
SANDY MANSFIELD
It is devastating, heartbreaking... just horrible. But I was amazed at the servant I met and his heart and humility. Becoming nothing, having nothing.. all for God's glory. That's where it starts. It may look a mess, but in reality.. Jesus would have physically healed the people and the city first, and would not stop until spiritually the people understood. So that's just where they begin, and hopefully a revolution can take place. The positive part comes from knowing that we serve a God bigger than any hurricane or bigger than any hunger or moral issue. Glad you read! Hope you are doing well.. God bless!!!
