Be Smelly

"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing."
2 Corinthians 2:14-15

A while ago I bought a reed diffuser at Pier 1 Imports. The floral scented oil was drawn up through the reeds and filled the room with a delightful smell. I read this passage with that image in mind. We are to be filled with Christ; filled with His alluring aroma that others will notice and be drawn to Christ in us. I pray that I be more willing to give Him every part of my life, that He might fill me more abundantly and wholly and thus give off a sweeter fragrance to the world.
