MY RESULTS:
Your Risk Taking Level: Low
You live your life with the motto: safety first. You prefer to not take any risks at all. But by never taking a risk, you're chancing something else.. . A very boring and predictable life! [at my age, that's a good thing! LOL] |

May 19She Did What She Could
She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.
Mark 14:8She loaded the plastic container of cupcakes onto the conveyor belt, sending it toward the cashier. Next came the birthday card and various bags of chips. Hair escaped from her ponytail, crowning her fatigued forehead. Her toddler clamored for attention. The clerk announced the total and the mom’s face fell. “Oh, I guess I’ll have to put something back. But these are for her party,” she sighed, glancing regretfully at her child.
Standing behind her in line, another customer recognized such pain. Jesus’ words to Mary of Bethany echoed in her mind: “She did what she could” (Mark 14:8). After anointing Him with a bottle of expensive nard before His death and burial, Mary was ridiculed by the disciples. Jesus corrected His followers by celebrating what she had done. He didn’t say, “She did all she could,” but rather, “She did what she could.” The lavish cost of the perfume wasn’t His point. It was Mary’s investment of her love in action that mattered. A relationship with Jesus results in a response.
In that moment, before the mom could object, the second customer leaned forward and inserted her credit card into the reader, paying for the purchase. It wasn’t a large expense, and she had extra funds that month. But to that mom, it was everything. A gesture of pure love poured out in her moment of need.
Reflect & Pray
In what unexpected ways has Jesus helped you? What might you do—not all, but what—to love Jesus back in a need you see today?
Father, open my eyes to see You inviting me to do what I can do today.

Your Risk Taking Level: Medium-Low
You’ll take a risk if you have to, but you prefer to err on the side of caution.
If something looks like it’s going to work out, you may just go for it.
But frivolous risks like gambling totally aren’t your style.
You prefer to have as much control over your life as possible.
