What do you smell like? Are you a sweet perfume to God? To those around you?
The way we live life in our families, in our churches, in our schools and workplaces, in traffic(!) - that is the aroma we give off. Are we a stench or sweet smelling?
Sometimes we need a little extra deodorant ...
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Lord, may I, and each of us in our church, grow in Your grace and in he knowledge of Your Son. In each service may we be worshipful and attentive, eager to learn and change our ways. And may we learn to use our spiritual gifts and serve as You lead.
Protect us from being deceived and led astray. Help us with our doubts, our stresses, our trials, and our relationships, especially in our families. Make our love for You and for one another increase and overflow. May those who have disputes or grievances resolve them quickly, before the end of the day. I pray these same things for our church's leaders and workers. In new ways make us a glory to Your name.
May we so live together in harmony, both in our families and our church, that our unity will be like a sweet perfume to You and to others, both believers and unbelievers.
(31 Day of Prayer, Warren and Ruth Myers, Day 12)
