You know when you visit a friends and their dog comes near you and when you go home your dog is like...what's that smell? and proceeds to sniff away at you?
It's pretty funny! Has that happened to you?
My dog notices it every time!
You know our life with Jesus is like that. Calm down, let me explain.
The bible claims that we have a light about us as believers. Not to boast, but when we go out and are present with people we leave a fragrance. The friend we visit with goes away and visits another friend and they are like asking, "Who were you hanging with?" Your fragrance rubbed off on them and another notices it.
Jesus rubs off on us, we pick up His fragrance and then we sprinkle that aroma onto others.
Do you know what I'm talking about? It's just like a dog rubbing His aroma on you and your own dog recognizes it.
Sweet! Sweet Jesus! He gives us a fragrance and we just naturally pass it on. Spending much time with Jesus gives you a stronger sweet aroma. Little time, little odor!
I hope you are taking this the right way! This promise of God is what we need and others need the aroma.
It also is said you get salty and you need to pass that salt on. Salt makes food taste better. People need more salt. Get salty! Have you heard this message before? It's just a reminder that I was thinking about!
Easter is the holy season with God, where we recognize Jesus as our Savior, His great love death on the cross. Believing in Jesus and following Him gives us the sweet fragrance of the Lord--a beautiful, heavenly perfume. You are blessed and loved.
"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ." 2 Corinthians 2:14-15
Let's pray about it:
Lord I want to be your sweet heavenly aroma. May you get all the glory in my life. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
Okay, Okay...just like your dog giving you an aroma and other dogs notice it, Jesus gives you His heavenly aroma when you walk, talk, learn from Him.
Go spread your odor!
