The Pitfalls of Non-OCD

Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.(Luke 7:44-46 ESV)
From the onset Simon had been criticizing this woman in his heart. She was "out of control." She went overboard in showing love, faith and worship to Jesus. Now it was time to evaluate his lack of passion and excess. He criticized what she did; Jesus rebuke him for what he did not do. Like Simon, we at times may be a little too "in control" and disciplined for our own good.
