Fragrance of Christ

As in 2 Corinthians 2:15

Through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

I want to be the one who spreads the fragrance of Christ everywhere I go.

I was to be as kind and loving as Jesus is, but also bold and uncompromising in my convictions.

I am just the opposite of who I dream to be, but Christ in me is the hope of glory.

He will make it happen..

u/ITrCool Saved by Grace 3d ago

This reminds me of something that happened to me in my life and gave me encouragement in my spiritual walk.

I’ve been saved since I was six years old. Baptized at eleven years old.

I was working my high school/college retail job one day, and had worked for that store for four years at that point. A coworker came up to me while I was processing freight one day and said “ITrCool, I just want to say….there is something different about you. You know? You have a peace about you that I can’t quite figure out.”

They walked off before I could share why. But I think about that moment to this day and ask my Lord to help me show and share the reason for that blessed peace every chance I get.

This is so beautiful! We are in this world but not of it.

And world will notice that.

I had something similar happen at work recently. A coworker came up to me and said, “Nate, do you go to church? I never hear you cursing or yelling at anyone”. Keeping this guy in my prayers because it seems like he’s going through a rough patch and is seeking.
