This week's scripture reference was Luke 7: 36-50, the story of the woman who poured out an entire container of an expensive and precious perfume on the feet on Jesus, washed His feet with her tears, and dried them with her hair.
I almost cried when I saw what the sermon was going to be about. I have wanted to sing Steve Green's "Broken and Spilled Out" for years, but never had the opportunity. Today I did.
This song epitomizes that way that I have felt for years. I wanted to be truly "used" and "used up" for Jesus. But, there wasn't time. That was someone else's job. Or, I simply felt like I was intruding. But, I don't have that feeling anymore. The things I have to give are being used, broken, and spilled out. Poured at His feet.
Lord continue to let me be broken, spilled out, and used up for Thee.

Lucky you, Karen! What a wonderful feeling to have and such a beautiful state of being. The woman in the scripture you mention surely gets it and so do you, despite the hardships in your present life. Listening to the song now: glad you finally found a way to use one of your favorites. Thank you for sharing. Your enthusiasm and outlook are contagious = ) Stay Blessed!
