In our ministrations to
others we are not to forget that money is not the only thing of
which people are sorely in need—some need love and sympathy who do
not need money. Our Lord was one of these; His own heart, of love,
found comparatively little companionship in the more or less sordid
minds of even the noblest of the fallen race represented among His
Apostles. In Mary He seemed to find the depth of love and devotion
which was to Him an odor of sweet incense, of refreshment, of
reinvigoration, a tonic; and Mary apparently appreciated, more than
did others, the lengths and breadths of the Master’s character. She
not only delighted to sit at His feet to learn of Him but also
delighted, at great cost, to give Him some manifestation of her
devotion, her love. |
