What’s keeping you up?

I read this verse this morning in 2 Corinthians 2 and it made me think of my team at work.

¹⁵For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. ¹⁶To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? ¹⁷Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God.

I love my team.  I believe each and every one of us has been called to serve here, and I pray that we are so close to Jesus that we even smell like him.

This reminded me of Waffle House.  You ever go there and when you leave, you smell like it?  It’s one of those special benifits you walk away with for free .  This verse made me think…. I hope when people hang around me that they go away with the aroma of Christ.  For this to happen, I have to be close to Jesus…..a lot.

Father,  may I be so close to you that people recognize the aroma of you!  Lord, may our team be permeating of your character.  I love you so much.  Thank you for your word.  May your Holy Spirit guide my day as you live through me.  I love you so much!
