WHAT AROMA ARE YOU WEARING?
...the aroma of life leading to life... (2 Corinthians 2:16)
Our lives touch other lives in ways seen and unseen. I love perfumes and on countless occasions I have hugged someone and held on a little longer because they smelled so good! Most perfumes I have in my bathroom were bought because I caught a whiff of somebody's perfume. Our lives are pretty much the same. When you carry a good aroma, people are drawn to you and want what you have...the life of Jesus that is shining through you. So what aroma are you wearing? How do people respond to you? Are they drawn to you? Do they tolerate you? Are they in a hurry to get away from you? I once read about a high school student who had lost all his hair because he was being treated with chemotherapy for his cancer. His life had so influenced his classmates that they all shaved their heads so he wouldn't be embarrassed about returning to class. Think about that! What had that young man done to have a whole class of kids respond to him that way? Those who wear a good aroma are easy to spot; they love genuinely, they invest in others, they are unselfish and they are joyful! Take a quick review and make sure you are wearing a good aroma.
Stay above...always.
Yours & His,
