The delicate scent is the invitation to come closer, to pause awhile in the presence of His Glory.
The fragrance of the Gospel flows through the delicate veins until it is released from the petal’s pores. It beckons to the passerby, uncaring of their dispensation in life or their faith. The rich incense is not held within the pores it is released to the world in an unselfish act.
The purpose of the aroma is to create the ‘pause’. To open the opportunity for a whispered word.
His Word!
To the believer; a word of encouragement or perhaps inspiration.
For the stranger to His existence, it is a chance to pose a question, tell a story, or sometimes just be the sweetest whiff that will bring peace and introspection.
Sometimes, words may not even be necessary and just the raw beauty of creation is enough to bring peace to those that encounter creation in its purest form.
Draw closer to the Lord, cup Him in the palm of your hands and drink in the aroma of salvation so that the ‘Peace that surpasses all understanding’ fills you with the fragrances of the Holy Spirit and lets angels dance like butterfly wings through the portals of your faith.
