Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. — Matthew 26:10

How awesome to be this woman doing something “beautiful” for the Lord at this particular moment. It seems she is the only one to treat Jesus with humility and love in these last days. It seems this humility flows out of who she is and not out of what she knows. How could she know the full import of the anointing she had bestowed. But her humility moves her to humiliate herself and sacrifice in the worship of her Lord.

And the whole world will hear of this woman; not only that she would be in our memory, but that we would humble ourselves as did she. She leads me to the dirty feet, the beautiful feet, of my Lord. She has become the least; she is the servant of the Lord. She has received grace. Where is she in the kingdom? Does she get to attend to the Lord in the throne room? What is her joy today? It is the same as it was on that day in Bethany in the house of a leper; it is the joy of the Lord.
