I read this today in 2 Corinthians and it captured my heart and thoughts.  To know that we spread the fragrance of Christ through us makes me realize my life means more than I will ever know.  This means to me that Christ knows there are people in our lives now and in the future who will meet us and meet him.  For God knows that we are his children and like a mother who knows the beautiful aroma of her own child, we spread the fragrance of Christ everywhere we go.  We are the victory and in that we must submit to show our lives accordingly.  If we choose to live by Christ we must know our hearts will be molded into his image.  He will have us think about others more than we think about ourselves.  He calls on us to do his will and that is simply to show and shine his love.  Our hearts are designed by him to help others carry burdens they cannot carry themselves.  In this we must know the closer we draw to Christ the less we choose to be distracted by the thorn of our flesh.  I love now knowing that we are a sweet smell to our God and creator, to know that we are to God the Aroma Christ is amazing to my heart.  I want to live my life in a way that glorifies Christ in everything I do.  I want to turn my eyes to Christ when they turn on their own, I want my heart to soften when I feel things that try and harden it.  I want to stay a sweet fresh aroma of Christ to God on this earth until the day he calls me home… AMEN!
