“For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ (which ascends) to God, (discernible both) among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to the latter one an aroma from death to death (a fatal, offensive odor), but to the other an aroma from life to life (a vital) fragrance, living and fresh” 2 Corinthians 15-16 – Amplified Bible

A sweet, pure smell can awaken your senses, draw you to another person, or to aromatic surroundings. A sweet smell with just one pollutant can be a real “turn-off” to wanting to be near that smell.

Sometimes the pollutant may even be good for your health, such as garlic, but it will not produce a sweet blend of aromas.

There are many ways to offer up pleasing aromas through joy, peace, sacrifice, knowledge, and prayer. How do we prepare our minds & thoughts, our personalities, to release the drawing power of the love of Christ?

Today, let’s ponder the practical ways to be a sweet fragrance, ridding all the worthless values called garbage.
