I feel that forgiveness is one of man's greatest needs.
This woman (washed Jesus feet with her tears and dried them with her hair), upon receiving forgiveness, fell at the feet of the One who gave her this great gift and the opportunity to live anew.
Her attitude and action sum up the only appropriate response to the One who so freely offers this to all who ask.
By the sacrifice of His own blood as payment for the sins of the world, Jesus extends the same forgiveness and rebirth to all who desire it even to this day.
Jesus died once for all the sins of the world. Have you accepted His free gift of forgiveness and everlasting life?
I have, and it causes my heart to sing. It is only in this hope and freedom that I can come before Him, experience the beauty of His love and cleansing grace, and praise Him with my heart, hands, and brush.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
