...and through us

spreads the fragrance

of the knowledge of Him

                  everywhere.

For we are the aroma

             of Christ...

             2 Corinthians 2. 14-15

(What lingers in their thoughts?

What is different about us?

A sweetness,

a selflessness,

unexpected grace,

abounding love,

    which draws others to Christ.

Our relationship with Him

   flavors everything about us.

God is using us

   in ways we are not even aware.)

O LORD,

You have drawn us to You.

You have transformed our hearts.

Let Your sweet aroma

   fill us and surround us

to point others to You.

Let our desire for You

     flavor everything about us

and compel others

             to know why.

They may not remember

               what we say,

but they will always remember

       how we loved them.

May they come to know

    how much You love them.
