Forgiven MUCH

 “I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.”  Luke 7:47

Extravagant love and extravagant gratitude and extravagant humility had just been shown to Yeshua, and the self-satisfied were getting very, very, very uncomfortable.

A beautiful but terrifying revelation is when we see the truth of our condition., the depth of our depravity if not for the grace of God.

This revelation has power to break arrogance and replace it with pure compassion.

For that I am most grateful.

May I always be the one in the room who has been forgiven MUCH and loves much.

Luke 7:47

"For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little." Luke 7:47 The lesson is simple if you KNOW you have been shown great mercy you love extravagantly, unconventionally, dangerously, but if you are "forgiven little" if you are in very little need of His mercy then your heart will dispense tiny little, conditional drips of love that are calculated to please your 'pretty good, thank you' delusional self.  And "love" always includes the word "sacrifice" in its definition.
