Devotional: Sweet Perfume Of God's Grace
Christian Women's Devotion on God's Fragrance in our Lives
We read here of a
beautiful act of love towards
Jesus. This
woman took her best, most expensive,
perfume
and poured it out over Jesus to anoint
Him. What prompted her to do this? Did
she know Jesus
was going to die? She
obviously saw something
beautiful in Jesus
and wanted to express her
love for Him. Maybe
she didn't know how significant this act of love
was. How can our lives be like a sweet smelling perfume of God's grace? How can we
express something of
God's love to the people
around us? Often it can
be in simple and
practical ways. Proverbs 27: 9
says, "Oil and
perfume rejoice the heart; so does
the
sweetness of a friends counsel that
comes
from the heart." May our lives
be like a sweet fragrance of God's
grace, so
wherever we go we will leave a deposit
of
that fragrance in other people's
lives.
Let us also be as this woman who
poured out her
all on Jesus. Let us give
ourselves wholly to Him,
as He gave Himself
wholly as a fragrant offering
for the
forgiveness of our sins. His grace is
sweet.
And He has poured out His grace upon
us as sweet
smelling perfume to spread His
fragrance everywhere. © By M.S.Lowndes
For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: To the latter it is an aroma [wafted] from death to death [a fatal odor, the smell of doom]; to the former it is an aroma from life to life [a vital fragrance, living and fresh]. And who is qualified (fit and sufficient) for these things? [Who is able for such a ministry? We?].
- 2 Corinthians 2: 15-16 (AMPC)
May the perfume of
your grace
Be poured into our lives,
So we
may leave wherever we go
The fragrance of
Jesus Christ. © By M.S.Lowndes
