The Fragrance of Christ

I have several Christian friends who are struggling in what to say to those who need Christ in their lives I think sometimes we put so much focus on the person and what we're going to say to them that we forget who the focus needs to be on ...Christ Let him work and speak through you He's the one who changes hearts and he will use you if you let him
Be a friend and love people where they're at Our lives are messy and smelly sometimes Let your fragrance rub off on them



Now wherever we go He [God] 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. (2 Corinthians 2:14)


"God rubs off on us and in turn, He rubs up against the people we know and encounter. Some welcome this and some don’t, but that part is out of our control. Our focus is to be on Him.......

Author David Roper has put it this way:

Change, as it comes to us, is the fruit of our association with God. As we draw close to Him day by day, walking with Him, talking to Him, listening to His words, relying on Him, asking for His help, His beauty—the beauty of holiness—begins to rub off on us. Quietly and unobtrusively His influence softens our wills and inclines us to deep righteousness. In His quiet love He takes all that's ugly in us and gradually turns it into something beautiful for Him.......
Our impact among others, therefore, is not something we have to overly concentrate on. It’s not: “I’ve got to remember to tell somebody about Jesus today,” it’s more like: “I want to be aware of God in my life today.” Walking in an awareness of God is already speaking volumes. "
