I have been wondering from childhood why people use perfumes? I kept asking my mom n sister why they used them. And most often say to smell good, which I guess among other people. Growing up I as a teenager I hear people say you smell good! Please what perfume do you use? On the contrary, there were others which made people mad at the smell.
We often even go to the extreme to get expensive fragrance of different kinds and brands. Nevertheless, we sometimes adhere to a particular smell from a type of purfume to others. There are some smell that do attract us while others do not.
The question is why do you also use fragrance? Is it because of the wonderful smell? The brand name? Or the attraction it brings to you? I know you have a lot of rationale to bequeath.
Its breathtaking to also perceive that God seeks our lives to be a nectar to exert a pull on other people in the world. Paul said '...and the people saw Christ in me and glorified God'. Our lives must be a sweet fragrance to draw people closer to God through Christ. Just as when you smell good people get closer to you, it is equally recommendable that living a righteous life also magnetize.
How do we make our lives a sweet fragrance? In Galatians 5:22-25, we are enlightened on the fruits of the spirit as good traits for Christ-like people. As believers our lives is like a fragrance. It can either attract people or Ward them off. Christ looks to the life you live because He needs it to draw people closer to Him.
You are a fragrance of change! Like some perfumes are nice its so with some characters of human. Let your life be a transformation tool by attracting others. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ. God bless you n Jesus loves you.
