She cried because Jesus had forgiven her, and she washed His feet with her tears. She dried His feet with her hair then poured perfume on them. Jesus knew everything the woman had done, and He could see how sorry she was and how much she loved Him. Jesus said, ‘Woman you are forgiven. Now go in peace.’ There is nothing you or I could ever do that would make Jesus stop loving us. Who loves you? [Bottom Line] Jesus loves me.”
