just like your daddy....

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. (2 Corinthians 2:14-15 NKJV)

The short and sweet of it today is very simple...

As we sat listening to the service today, I was struck by something my wife said.  (I would also add that verse 14 above was also part of the message today.). 

My youngest son, Lucas, sat on my lap during the service.  This is a place he often likes to sit...close to daddy.  It was simply one of those enjoyable times I have as a father.  About 5 min before the service ended, he shifted over to his mother's lap.  And in the process told her sweetly that he loved her.  And then Colleen said something that made me stop.  

"You smell like your Daddy."

It hit me powerfully.  It is in spending time with God that we take on His aroma.  Even something as simple as waiting in His presence, we become the fragrance of Christ.  And others become acutely aware that we have been with Him, based on this.  (there is still so much more here, but I did say, "short")

Wow!  Simple and true.  

I want to radiate that aroma, and more so...

...let me be known by my love for spending time with Abba!  "All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad."         (Psalm 45:8 NKJV)
