“Her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” Luke 7:47 ESV1
Read Luke 7:36-50
Country artist, Ronnie Milsap, recorded a song entitled, “What a Difference You’ve Made in My Life.” The lyrics of that song are:
“What a difference you’ve made in my life.
What a difference you’ve made in my life.
You’re my sunshine day and night.
Oh, what a difference you’ve made in my life.
What a change you’ve made in my heart.
What a change you’ve made in my heart.
You replaced all the broken parts.
Oh, what a change you’ve made in my heart.
Love, to me, was just a word in a song that had been way overused.
But now I have joined in the singing
because you’ve showed me love’s true meaning.
That’s why I want to spread the news.
What a difference you’ve made in my life.
What a difference you’ve made in my life.
You’re my sunshine day and night.
Oh, what a difference you’ve made in my life. (5X)”2
I don’t know for whom Mr. Milsap sang his song, but every time it runs through my head, I can’t help but think of Jesus. And I imagine the woman highlighted in the following Scriptures had a very similar song playing in her heart for Jesus.
