It is not our privilege
to come into personal contact with our dear Redeemer, but it is our
privilege to anoint the Lord’s “brethren” with the sweet perfume of
love, sympathy, joy and peace, and the more costly this may be as
respects our self-denials, the more precious it will be in the
estimation of our Elder Brother, who declared that in proportion as
we do or do not unto His brethren, we do or do not unto Him.... Our
alabaster boxes are our hearts, which should be full of the richest
and sweetest perfumes of good wishes, kindness and love toward all,
but especially toward.., our Lord Jesus, and toward all His
disciples... on whom we now have the privilege of pouring out the
sweet odors of love and devotion in the name of the Lord, because we
are His. |
