When you think of the character Strawberry Shortcake, you think of the sweet aroma of her. That is what she and her friends are known for. As Christians we are to be that sweet aroma to Christ. The problem is we are wondering why we do not smell like berries and flowers. When I think of the smell of Jesus it brings to my understanding the birth, serving, teachings, journey, sacrifice, the three days in the tomb, and the resurrection. In Philippians 4:18-20, 2 Corinthians 2:15-17, and Ephesians 5:2 the Word of God expresses that our birth, serving, blood, sweat, and tears go to the Lord as our sacrifice and our offering. They are the sweet aroma, they are the smell of Jesus seeping through our flesh. The Lord gave me this parable of Strawberry Shortcake to remind us of the Fruit of the Spirit. In Matthew 7:15-20 Jesus reminds us that we will be known by our Fruit. There is only one Fruit, that is Jesus and He comes to reside in us. The only way others will know if Jesus is in us is to witness the evidence of that Fruit. Galatians 5:22-23 expresses that love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control is the evidence that Jesus is in us. Join me in A Sweet Aroma and let's activate what God has already given us. Let us be A Sweet Aroma of Christ!
