Simon answered, "I suppose the one who was forgiven the most." "That’s right," said Jesus. Then turning to the woman, but speaking to Simon, he said, "Do you see this woman? I came to your home; you provided no water for my feet, but she rained tears on my feet and dried them with her hair. You gave me no greeting, but from the time I arrived she hasn’t quit kissing my feet. You provided nothing for freshening up, but she has soothed my feet with perfume. Impressive, isn’t it? She was forgiven many, many sins, and so she is very, very grateful. If the forgiveness is minimal, the gratitude is minimal."

Luke 7:43 - Additional Comments
Jesus is saying the reaction of forgiveness is love. We are not just to thank Jesus, but to love Him for who He is and what He has done. Do you love Jesus?
What is the greatest commandment? To love God! See Matt 22:36-38. We are not just to follow Him, to obey Him, to spend time with Him, we are to LOVE Him! And how does love grow? By spending time with the individual. Your love for God will grow as you spend time with Him, and will diminish as you don't.
Note that the number one thing we are to do in our life is to love God. Over everything else we do in our life, that is the most important. So, is this something you do? Do you adore God?
