“Be ye, therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love,
as Christ also hath loved us, and hath
given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet-smelling savor.” Ephesians 5:1,2
It is not so much what I LOOK like to the world or to other Christians that matters;
but what I SMELL like to God.
Jesus' life was sweeter than any incense! If the fragrance of my life is pleasing to the Lord's nostrils it will be serving its purpose to the believers and to the unsaved around me. Memorizing Scripture without my letting it make me a "follower of God", is fruitless.
Dear Lord, change me by your grace.
Trust and obey; for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
