Aroma

Ephesians2:12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

As my eyes fell on this scripture this morning, I remembered. I remembered how hopeless and meaningless my life was without Christ. I remembered I often wondered where I would go after I die. I often wondered how my sins were going to be dealt with. My greatest pain was not knowing the God that created me.

I am thankful that someone took the time to share the love of God with me.

Let's look around real hard as we begin our day and ask God to give us insights into those around us that are without hope and without God.

They don't need our long prayers, our sermons, or our well written gospel tracts. All they need is the love of God displayed to them in human form. Let us today remove anything that so hinders or obstructs our sharing the love of God with those around us.

Let us remember how we once were in that place without God and without hope. Let us determine today to share the greatest love of all with those that God would lead us to today. Let us share the aroma of Christ or better still let us be the aroma of Christ. As we interact with people may they not just take in our cologne of the day or a body spray but let them breathe in the pure fragrance of Christ.

Come, let us demonstrate today hope and God! Let us demonstrate a love that would be hard to deny.
