Fragrance Diffuser

They're quite popular, coming in a variety of scents, colors, and styles.  Fragrance diffusers are intended to make the air smell good and create the desired mood in that space.

Paul writes: 
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  2 Corinthians 2:14

The diffuser can only disburse
that which it is drawing in!

Jesus invites us to abide
He says, dip your life into mine
Take in all I have to offer
Soak it up!

When the fragrance is empty, the sticks can no longer diffuse.  What a lesson that becomes for us! In order to diffuse the fragrance of God, we must be constantly connected to the source, soaking it in to share it with those around us.

The source of grace and mercy is Jesus!

When the sticks are dry, there is a trace of fragrance that remains...  It doesn't permeate the air in the room, it is soaked into the wood and you have to hold them close to detect any remaining fragrance.   

Jesus said, Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.  JOHN 15:4 

Have you soaked in the Word of God,

the grace and mercy of God,

in such measure
that it just emits from you,

without effort?

Imagine the people around you...  

In what way are they breathing in God's goodness and love, just because of who you are? 

My prayer today is to soak it up and be saturated in such measure that God's love is at the forefront of my mind, knowing His enduring love for me, and His desire for every person to know this for themselves too!  May all who know the love of God through Jesus be diffusers of His knowledge in every place!
