"And walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." -Ephesians 5:2 (NIV)
One thing I enjoy about spring and summer is stepping outside and smelling the sweet aroma of the blooming flowers. The fragrant aroma begins with the lilac by the porch earlier in the spring followed by the azalea and then, in the later summer, by the summer sweet. When smelling the fresh, sweet scent of these flowers, we can be reminded of the sweetness of Jesus and His love!
As we go about our lives we should remember the love and sacrifice of Jesus. We can then model our lives after Jesus by walking in love. When we walk in love, we can offer ourselves as a living sacrifice for God. When we follow God's will, we will walk in His love. As we walk in love, our lives can be examples to others of God's grace, mercy, power, and love. Our lives will give off the sweet, fragrant aroma of God's love that will make others smile!
Live your life in God's will so others will experience the sweet, fragrant aroma of God's love!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for allowing me to experience the fragrant aroma of Your love and redemption. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
