Faith, an extravagant gift

I've been looking at John 12:1-11, the story of Mary anointing the feet of Jesus, and thinking about extravagant love and what would it look like today.
I think what I can offer as extravagant love is faith, and I know that it only comes from God. How appropriate to offer it back to Him as a gift of love.
I am presently reading "Violent Prayer" by Chris Teigreen, and came across a great quote:
"God expects human faith to fix its eyes on the reality behind the scenes and never let go. Never!"
