Jesus Deserves My Best

📖 Bible Verse:
“A woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He was reclining at the table.” — Matthew 26:7 

🕊️ Story / Reflection

One day, a woman came to Jesus with a very special gift — a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume. Instead of keeping it for herself, she broke it open and poured it on Jesus. Some people thought she was wasting it, but Jesus knew her heart. She gave Him her best because she loved Him deeply.

When we give Jesus our best — our time, our talents, our kindness, and our love- it shows how much we value Him. 

Jesus deserves our best, not just what’s left over. Every little thing we do for Him with love becomes a sweet fragrance, just like that perfume.

Jesus deserves our very best, not just our things, but our hearts. Like the woman who poured her perfume on Him, we show our love when we give Him our time, talents, and worship with all our hearts. 

💡 Lesson:
Jesus deserves my best — in my worship, my actions, and my heart.

🙏 Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
Thank You for loving me so much.
Help me to give You my very best in everything I do.
Let my life be like a sweet fragrance that makes You smile.
Amen.

Ask yourself: Am I giving Jesus my best or just what’s easy? Choose one area of your life — school, home, or church and give your very best for Him today.

🌸 Closing Thought:
When you give Jesus your best, it’s never wasted. He treasures every act of love and worship that comes from your heart.
