Carrying the (Boss') Fragrance...
HELLO IGNYTE!!!! :D :DHahaha yesh i will respond to dear sis michelle's (pink one) reminder that I can still blog for ya'll! *yayy!*
Well anyway, last thursday my cousin had her graduation from her honours class in uni (yay!), so we got her a bunch of very pretty n very fragrant flowers. I bought the flowers unarranged and went home to arrange them nicely in nice wrapping tissue n ribbon, but what do I know about flower arrangement?
Haha so yea spent quite a long time b4 it looked decent, and the result was that my hands were full of flower-scent all day even when I went to sleep, no matter how much I washed my hands.
And that night during my TAWG, God reminded me...about carrying the fragrance of CHRIST!
1. I held on tight to the flowers, spent a lot of time around the bouquet and was constantly touching them as I arranged them and carried them around. In the same way, we need to hold on to Jesus so tight, and spend time in His presence so that His fragrance rubs off on us and we carry it wherever we go - so people will "smell" and know who HE is when they come into contact with ME!
2. I also found I needed to ask for forgiveness for the times I did NOT smell like Him - when I was not Christ-like in my speech, thoughts or actions. Sin makes us smell bad...to God and even to others, cos we don't live a good testimony of our faith in Christ. And the things (what we watch, listen to etc) and even people we hang around with - we'll start smelling like them! So, who's fragrance/smell would you want to have?
3. If your answer is CHRIST, we need to constantly, daily, spend quality time with our heavenly Father. For just as the scent of the flowers on my hands faded over time as long as I didn't continually/daily handle, touch or be around nice-smelling flowers, the fragrance we carry in our lives will eventually fade n even be gone if we do not spend time with God and drawing close to Him all the time.
Yup, so get the Boss' fragrance on YOU - not HUGO boss (hoho...i heard my bro's cell is called that!) - but THE Boss - Jesus Christ! :)
Mmm...i smell, i smell...YOU! :)
love from Down Under,
sis yvette :D
