Your Fragrance

I have a candle called Pumpkin Spice and the scent smells so wonderful. It creates such a good ambiance in my house and I’m enjoying it. I’m welcoming Autumn and the comforts of the season. I also really enjoy the Christmas season scents of cinnamon and Fraser fir pine. These fragrances bring memories as well as great joy! Scents can also offer us cozy feelings of home, like with a homemade meal or fresh towels. Or create feelings of excitement, like when I walk in my favorite store with it’s consistently uplifting scent.

Did you know we are the fragrance of God? Just as the awareness of scents are obvious to us, the Christians presence is also known. We are “the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.” (2 Corinthians 2:15) To those not walking with the Lord we can be a pervasive and uncomfortable scent. A reminder of life and death. Yet, to those being saved we are like walking in that refreshingly scented store or enjoying that comforting candle. We are so uplifting!

So, with the Spirit’s lead, as a fragrance representing the One True God, spread the sweet aroma of Christ everywhere you go!
