Overcoming fear. Mark 14:3-9
The Broken Seal

She broke the seal.
And it all spilled out,
Precious and costly,
And lovely, and sweet,
The scent filled everywhere.

Filled everywhere, and everything,
Spilled out on someone,
And touched everyone.
The seal torn,
The box , broken,
The whole world blessed.

The perfume cost her everything,
Her whole life was in it.
Her love, her failures,
Her fears,her pain,
All there in the box.

Her dream of goodness,
Crushed out and gone,
The tears of failure,
The box held it all.

It was her life,
Herself,
The very core.
The everypart,
The whole.

She tore the seal,
Broke the box,
And poured,
It all.

What's in your fragile,
Alabaster heart?
Break the seal,
The fear,
And pour,
Yourself,
Sweet, lovely,
You.
