| You may feel like a cactus in a desert canyon keeping people away from your heart with needles. Let your cactus heart flower, just believe it's your season. |
Spikenard is precious, valuable, cherished, treasured and very costly.
Your soul is irreplaceable; tender, precious, esteemed and loved.
You are a pearl who was purchased at a great cost.
When the preciousness of your soul is leaked through brokenness, the Repairer of broken walls will heal you. You will become like a well watered garden whose spring never runs dry. You were created to do more than just live a leaky life. You have been designed to live like a river of free flowing love that breaks through the damns of brokenness.
Brokenness is part of a regenerating design that brings a greater strength than you could ever imagine. Bitterness is a disease that takes root in the brackishness of a stagnant soul - a lifeless, unmoving pond of self pity. Embracing brokenness will help you resuscitate a soul bereft of compassion.
 |
| There is no canyon of despair where God cannot create awe inspiring love. |
If you are struggling, imagine a cocoon where you emerge with wings of freedom.
If life is hard, imagine polishing the brilliance of your diamond like future.
If somebody is irritating you, imagine yourself as an oyster creating a pearl of great price.
If you need to forgive yourself, imagine yourself as a tree letting your leaves fall and new buds appearing in a new spring of your life.
If you feel lonely, imagine being the seed just released from the Farmers hand into the broken soil. Soon you will burst forth into the sunshine as a new sprout.
Will you pour out something valuable on somebody today?
Will you pour your time, talents or treasures
when the world considers your actions wasteful?
When you pour out your soul on somebody,
don't wait for them to be grateful or
pour back into you,
just keep pouring.
 |
| Even Niagara Falls flows on a cold, dark winters night. |
is unlimited and unfathomable.
The river of compassion needs to flow
through you to keep love moving.
God is the irrepressible refiller of your soul.
His cup of love never runs dry.
Fill someone's cup of suffering with love,
you will flow in rivers of freedom, just let go.
The fragrance of the spikenard in your soul will
smell like a bouquet of love to the broken soul.
 |
| A snow heart pushes it's way up through the frozen ground of a bleak midwinter. Your spring is just around the corner. |

Mark 14:3-9
The Message
3-5 Jesus was at Bethany, a guest of Simon the Leper. While he was eating dinner, a woman came up carrying a bottle of very expensive perfume. Opening the bottle, she poured it on his head. Some of the guests became furious among themselves. “That’s criminal! A sheer waste! This perfume could have been sold for well over a year’s wages and handed out to the poor.” They swelled up in anger, nearly bursting with indignation over her.
6-9 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why are you giving her a hard time? She has just done something wonderfully significant for me. You will have the poor with you every day for the rest of your lives. Whenever you feel like it, you can do something for them. Not so with me. She did what she could when she could—she pre-anointed my body for burial. And you can be sure that wherever in the whole world the Message is preached, what she just did is going to be talked about admiringly.”

"Find new ways,
in as many ways,
in more excellent ways,
on all of your days,
to show love."
