His Fragrance is a throwback poem from 2018 that I published on my blog and then reposted on my Facebook page. I have so many poems that I’ve written over the years, so I’m glad at least a handful of them are digital so that I can go back and appreciate them. Well, you like to hear it? Here it goes… (SN: I know you’re old enough to remember In Living Color! If I could sit and watch those right now 🤣😂) Okay my bad!
His Fragrance…
We all have come across scents that make our heads turn and perk up our eyes. This attraction may come from a memory of someone you love which causes you to think about how their fragrance stayed on you after they left your presence. Your attraction may just be from a good memory you had where that scent was present. Personally I love the laundry aisle in the stores, I could be there for hours lol- it’s just relaxing to me.
Think of a fragrance that excites you. How do you feel when you first catch a hint of that scent? How do you feel as it lingers a little longer? What thoughts come to your mind as your senses are engaged? How do you feel when those smells are finally gone?
For me I think about the times that someone I love has left their sweet smell of cologne on my clothes, on a pillow, in the car or even on their own shirt or jacket that I may have worn myself. Smelling that cologne puts a smile on my face. The fragrance causes me to feel like they are near me and to think of the memories that we have experienced together. Breathing in this scent makes me feel at peace, full of joy, makes me feel like they are here with me and that I am protected. When the fragrance finally fades away I desire to have that person and their scent back.
Isn’t it amazing how sweet and soothing our Lord Jesus Christ is. When we get in His presence we can smell the beautiful aroma of who He is, breathe in His love, and capture the hope that is in Him. Even while calling the name of Jesus, the sweetest name I know, your whole countenance can change. As we purposely stay in His presence we too give off His fragrance offering it back to God and out to the world attracting those that need to know who He is. It is great to know that God’s fragrances never fade away and we can have as much of them as we so desire.
We are in this world not of it so make sure that the scent you’re leaving behind and the taste that you leave in the mouths of others is a sweet one rooted in God. Seek His presence daily so that as you walk away the scents of God’s love, grace and peace will permeate from your very being. We are called to be Salt and Light in this world. If you didn’t know the reason that salt is added to many dishes when cooking is to bring out the other flavors that are already present- to bring life to the dish. So let’s not be salty in a negative sense but be God’s salt that brings out the good in all His children.
Be encouraged today. Stay in God’s presence because it will keep you #LivingSweet! #Live2Give
Have a Living Sweet day!
Focused. Fearless. Favored.
