The truest form of worship is, first of all, the presentation to God of all that is most precious, all that is most costly, that we have or that we are. He worships best who presents himself, and, above all, that heart of his, the home of his affections; that heart which Christ Himself has liberated, and set on fire with holy love. He worships best who presents that heart of his, just as Mary presented the ointment. None, I am persuaded, gives greater pleasure to the heart of Jesus than the worshipper who pours forth at His feet the precious ointment of adoring love. Oh, if we can but lie at His feet, and just let our hearts flow forth to Him in the one all-absorbing thought, "I am His, He is mine; I am His, He is mine;" so we worship best.
