How Do You Smell?

If You Were a Perfume, Would Anyone Want to Wear You?
Wherever we go he uses us to tell others about the Lord and to spread the Good News like a sweet perfume. Our lives are a fragrance presented by Christ to God… a life-giving perfume. (2 Cor. 2:14-16)

If You Were a Letter, Would Anyone Want to Read You?
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God.
(2 Cor. 3:2-3)

If you have ever received a perfumed letter it was no doubt from someone who loved you—a special person who wanted an engaging scent to accompany his or her message. We need to ask ourselves: is my life a sweet fragrance to my family and friends? Is my scent attracting them to my message, or is my smell driving them away?
