Summary
The Strange Woman gave what she had and all she had.
It was painful. It was absolute joy. It was sacrificial.
She gave un-self-consciously, naturally, and personally.
It was ecstasy. It was pure. It was free. It was a beautiful thing.
The Strange Woman loved Jesus when He seemed to be good for nothing, just good.
And Jesus loved us when we seemed to be good for nothing, just good.
Jesus loved God the Father when He seemed to be good for nothing, just good. And the Father loved Jesus when He seemed to be good for nothing, just good. God is not only good for everything; He’s good for nothing, just good. He’s Beautiful.
Beauty is not good for a reason. Beauty is the Reason.
When you worship the Beautiful One, you are impregnated with Beauty and give birth to the beautiful thing: your beautiful self in the image of God. God does not paint by numbers, but He creates all things with Beauty.
Beauty is Love in absolute freedom.
