...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.
