Luke 7 has an awesome story that is often overlooked...
Starting in verse 36 we find Jesus again having dinner at someones house. His dinner is interupted by a prostitute who has had her life changed by her interaction with Jesus.
She interupts the meal, to pour perfume on his feet; washing them with her tears and wiping them with her hair.
When the host of the party saw this, he was disgusted that Jesus would let such a woman touch him...
Jesus responce is brilliant... (read it!) the short form of it is this, "[Whoever has been forgiven much, loves much]; but whoever has been forgiven little loves little (Luke 7:47)."
How about you? How much do you realize God has done for you? I think for a lot of us that grew up in the church, we forget how much God has done and we take it for granted...
The sinful woman prostitute's love for Jesus was so great that she took her most valuable perfume and lost her pride and did a beautiful thing to tell Jesus how very much she loved and appreciated him...
What beautiful thing can I do to show Jesus how very much I love and appreciate what he was done for me? How about you?

I can totally relate to that! I grew up going to church every sunday. And when i got home or even while im still at church i was taking every thing 4 granted like even being able to go to church.
