For to God we are the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 2 Corinthians 2:15
A couple nights ago after talking to my best friend at home, Tori, I was thinking about the prayer she prayed over me…. She prayed this verse over me. She prayed that even my smell would be attractive, comforting, pleasing, and different to the people I’m with this week.
I was sitting with Jesus the other day kinda confused just about life and the future. What I’m really doing, what I will be doing, why I’m doing what I’m doing in the first place. You know, all the good stuff.
Then He told me THS! that He has my story. He reminded me that He’s before and in all things. He told me that I’ve got to trust that He’s writing something epic for my story. Then He told me this thing right here. That whether I’m in Turkey/Albania, home/the race, that His aroma on me is the same everywhere he will ever take me.
Its so encouraging to me that;
a. i don’t have to write or plan my own story out because i really don’t like planning things anyway,
and
b. that i can simply be and that HIM in me will always stay the same.
You guys. We don’t have to wrestle with God about who we are and what He has us doing cause truly; all He wants us to do is to look for moments to love on His people, and to let the aroma of Him do what He does! Heck yeah! I think I can live with that!
