When she encountered Jesus, her priorities changed — she left the jar behind to share the good news. When we meet Jesus, some things we once thought essential no longer hold us.</p><p><strong>Prayer:</strong></p><p>Lord, give me the courage to leave behind what no longer defines me, so that I may run freely to tell others about You. Amen.</p>","author_name":"Various"}
