WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Right Words


Proverbs 16:24
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Hi.....
Just came across this poem (see below) and realized how important it is to speak the right, encouraging words especially when someone's really hurting.
Words of Hope can be so..uplifting to someone in the verge of quitting.
How often we pass by people who hurt & we don't seem to care.
I pray the Lord will use each of us to pray for the struggling, sick, weak and encourage a hurting heart.
I pray He'll give us the right words to say.
I pray God will help us stop by & stretch out a hand to lift someones who's feeling tired & weak spiritually, pray for someone backslidden.
It's when one's down the valley and hurting one wishes to see their fellow brothers, sisters & friends & loved ones around.
And it's in times like these God makes His Presence felt in a powerful way too!
HE understands for He too was rejected by whom He thought were HIS own, He went through physical pain and so knows when we go through that.
Let's ask God to put the right words in our mouths to lift up a hurting heart. For a wrong word said can discourage and pain the already hurting. That's why God's word says,
Proverbs 12:18 "Reckless words pierce like a sword..!"
Have a blessed day

THE RIGHT WORDS
~Author Unknown~
Lord, give me the right words to say
To broken hearts that come my way
To those who have been hurt before
That, I not hurt them any more
To those whose hearts have hardened up
To those who won't hold out their cup
That, Lord, You long to overflow
With love and mercy. Lord, let me know

That I might have the words to say
That I might plant a seed today
That glory would be given to You
Through all I say and all I do

Lord, give me the right words to say
More hearts are breaking every day
They're out there crying in the night
I long to help them see the light
But, fragile are those souls and weak
So this is why Your words I seek
And pray Thee give me words to say
That I, not one soul, turn away.
