She entered Simon’s house quietly, the way people who’ve been wounded often do.
No speech. No defense.
Just tears falling at the feet of Jesus.

“She stood behind Him at His feet, weeping… and wiped them with the hair of her head”
(Luke 7:38).

Simon the Pharisee evaluated her.
But Jesus understood her.

And when Simon judged her worth, Jesus told a story about two debtors — one owing much, one owing little — and asked which would love the creditor more.
Simon answered, “The one who was forgiven more.”
(Luke 7:41–43)

That was the moment the room shifted.

Because Jesus wasn’t illustrating economics.
He was revealing the engine of love:
Forgiveness received becomes love released.

When Jesus finally turned to her, He didn’t mention her tears or her costly perfume.
He said only this:
“Your faith has saved you.”
(Luke 7:50)

Forgiveness had already done its quiet work.
Love was simply the overflow.

The heart that remembers it’s forgiven never runs out of love to give.
