How much does it cost?

Matt 26:7-10 is a tremendous story of how a sinner broke a costly alabaster box to anoint her Savior. Surprisingly the disciples reacted and "they had indignation, saying, to what purpose [is] this waste?” This was an oppurtunity to annoint and honor the Lord and this precious sinner saw this hidden opportunity. If we calculate the cost we will not break our alabaster box. Our time, plans, dreams, oppurtunities, preferences must be broken. If we consider any other purpose we will hold back and hesitate when we should move and give. Anything that has any worth has a price. God calls for our life, poured out and emptied for His purpose. If there is no sacrifice or cost the value is little. The question isn’t "How much does it cost if I give"; the question is how much God gave and what would be the cost if I didn’t give”? Your valuable alabaster box once broken for the master, won’t bear regret!
