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.

God notices our tears...




There are days all you can do is pray and there are days you find it hard to pray but just cry but know tears are prayers too, God hears hears, sees understands and He's right there by your side holding you close, wiping your every tear, recording our misery.
Well our Heavenly Father never promised a life free of trials and tears.
But He did promise to be with us and He does keep a record of our every tear drop.
Psalm 56:8 "Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll[a] —
  are they not in your record?"
Tears move God's heart.
In Luke 7:10-15, we see a widow cry over the death of her only son and Jesus was touched and told her not to cry and raised her son from the dead.
Luke 7:13 "When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry."
14 Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother."
Again in ...Luke 7:36-43, we see a woman who lived a sinful life came and sat at the feet of JESUS and wet His feet with her tears.
 Luke 7: 37 "When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, 38and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. 
Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them."
It's better to cry at the feet of Jesus Christ our Lord, instead of crying about our situation.
It's good to be crushed at times, we learn a lot even in times of trials and pain. Even when we lie in bed feeling run down and in pain, God will come when we call out, He will minister to us, heal us and raise us up!
No matter what the enemy brings your way to discourage you, refuse to be discouraged.
The Bible says.." Jesus wept" . ( John 11: 35) 
How profound are those words that as we weep that our God weeps with us.
Now that is Love !

Be Blessed,

 ‎" WHAT GROWS FROM YOUR TEARS "
" Sometimes the tears just flow. Burdens get so heavy and decisions so difficult that your natural response is to weep.God knows the tears you have cried, and he honors every one of them by transforming them into seeds of hope. he produces a harvest of virtues within you - righteousness, humility, faith, and perseverance all grow from your weeping.
Rejoice that your tears are not in vain. God cultivates each glistening drop and transforms it into a blessing. When you see what God has done in you and how he has worked in your situation, you will also have a harvest of truly unshakable joy...
Dear God, I praise you that one day I will shout with joy over the harvest of virtues you have produced from my tears. Amen !
