[Manna - July 15]
Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, ...and have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:3
IN our ministrations to others we are not to forget
that money is not the only thing of which people
are sorely in need—some need love and sympathy
who do not need money.
Our Lord was one of these:
His own heart, full of love, found comparatively little
companionship in the more or less sordid minds of
even the noblest of the fallen race represented among
His apostles.
In Mary He seemed to find the depth
of love and devotion which was to Him an odor of
sweet incense, of refreshment, of reinvigoration, a tonic:
and Mary apparently appreciated, more than did
others, the lengths and breadths of the Master's character.
She not only delighted to sit at His feet to
learn of Him, but also delighted, at great cost, to give
Him some manifestation of her devotion, her love. Z.'99-77 R2448:3
