What kind of aroma are you leaving behind?

My beautiful sister-in-law, Tiffany, enjoys

writing and I loved this little devotion 

she wrote up and texted to me.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 ESV

  

    "But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance of death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's Word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ."  

Think of an aroma. 

Has there ever been a time where someone walked by 

and the smell of their perfume was just amazing!? 

Even after they were gone the sweet smell 

lingered in a pleasant way. 

It smelled so good that you wanted to run after them and 

ask what kind of perfume is that!? 

Where did you get it!? Wow it smells so good!

To think we are called to be as an aroma of Christ. 

That wherever we go we are to speak 

of the saving grace we received through Christ. 

To think that the fruits of the spirit 

should be so apparent and present in our lives 

that wherever we go we leave an aroma of Christ.

Not in a way to make a profit or to benefit ourselves 

but that it is so natural that it flows from us 

and we leave an impact wherever we go. 

That we would allow Christ to speak through us 

wherever we go.
