sweet aroma

I have been wanting to write out scriptures and post them around my house so that we can see and read God's words to us all day everyday. So I was going through my bible re-reading verses I had highlighted long ago that jumped out to me.  And I found a lot to write down, but one that jumped out to me was 2 Corinthians 2:14-16:

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life.

Wherever we go as believers we carry God's fragrance with us. Like a perfume, you can't see it, but it is on our skin, and anyone near us can't deny that it is there. I love that when I seek God with my whole heart He is with me so close as a perfume. And that everyone I encounter can not deny that it is there.  

And we are a sweet smelling aroma to God, I like to think that as I worship Him my aroma rises to His throne. Think of that for a second! That when we worship Him with songs or dance or sharing His message with others or just having compassion on someone it comes before His throne as a sweet aroma. I can just imagine my God closing his eyes and breathing it in, taking a big breath through his nose, and smiling. How awesome! When we live for Him, worship Him, we make Him smile! Wow! The Lord of all things, the King of everything, the Creator of the World... I make HIM smile? 

I am so blessed. The Lord of all things wants to have a relationship with me (and you) and I make Him smile! WOW!!!
