“Our lives are a fragrance presented by Christ to God.” II Corinthians 2:15a NLT
How many designer colognes are there on the market today? The answer is not limited to the number of celebrities nor the companies eager to invest in them. But that number is only a drop in the ocean when compared to the sacrificial lives poured out as a fragrance in service to the Lord.
Dogs probably know us better by scent and sound than by visual recognition. In their world we are a complex recipe of smells and odors. They can tell if we have bathed recently, but they also know what we had for lunch by the residue they smell on our hands and clothing, or if we have unfaithfully played with another dog on our way home. Some dogs have been bred to track us hours after we have left with nothing more than impressions in a grassy field.
In making us unique individuals with unique fingerprints, ideas, and passions, God is faithful to remember and know each of us as his own children. When we recognize our own unique compositions and give them up in sacrifice, then indeed God is pleased.
I dedicate my unique self to you, God, as a living sacrifice.
