2 Corinthians 2:14-3:6
"But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads in every place the fragrance that comes from knowing God."
We all have certain smells that we enjoy best. It might be a fresh cup of coffee, newly cut grass, or the smell outside after a refreshing summer rain. No matter what it is, these familiar and comforting smells bring us joy not only because of their pleasurable fragrance, but because, more often than not, they invoke emotions within us. They take us back to a place of great happiness. They remind us of a loved one. They inspire. Much is the same with what Paul is speaking about in the above passage. Our knowledge of God, our faith and belief in the love and grace which God has given to us, is a consistently comforting fragrance in our lives.
What smells do you love best? Why?
Our hearts and souls are full of the fragrance that comes from knowing You. Amen.
