"She Hath Done What She Could"

Yes, dear children, the woman who came to Jesus with her precious box of ointment to anoint His head, that head that soon was to be crowned with thorns, did what she could (see Mark 14:88She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. (Mark 14:8)). But there were some who thought this a great waste, and another who thought it out in terms of money. There are a lot of folks in the world like that, but the woman did the right thing, and the Lord defended her and said, “She hath done what she could.” Have we, dear children, followed her example?
Let me tell you of a little girl who lived in India. She was just six years old, but a real Christian girl. Yes, she had her sins washed away in the precious blood of Christ (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)), and she delighted to go around the village where she lived and to speak about her Saviour. One day as she was speaking of her Saviour, an elderly person, who should have known better, told her to wait until she was older before she spoke again of the Lord. Our little friend firmly decided that she must go on speaking about the Lord, bause the Scripture says we know not what shall be on the morrow (James 4:1414Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (James 4:14)). And how wise was our little friend, because soon after this cholera was raging through the district and took many away in death, and with them died the little disciple, just six years old. Had she waited until she was older she would never have spoken of her Lord, but “she did what she could” while she could.
