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.

Your deserts will bloom again...


Isaiah 35:1
[ The Future Glory of Zion ] The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;
 

Hi..
When God allows us to pass through testing times we should know we'll come out stronger and better.Let's learn to walk through the desert praising God. 
Soon the dry deserts in our lives too will bloom.
God permits these desert walk so that we learn to cope with pain, rejection, misunderstanding, loss, death etc.
 
When we faithfully endure, in due season God will make our deserts bloom.
 
Let's serve God regardless of our circumstance. May be nothing is going as planned but let's remember God has good plans for each one of us His children.
Let's praise God at all times..even in our dry seasons.
Habakkuk 3:17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
      Nor fruit be on the vines;
      Though the labor of the olive may fail,
      And the fields yield no food;
      Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
      And there be no herd in the stalls—
       18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
      I will joy in the God of my salvation.
       19 The LORD God [c] is my strength;
      He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
      And He will make me walk on my high hills. 

Has the going been tough for some of us?
God's Word says..
" We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

So let's press on...
Are we facing persecution because of our faith...?
Let's not give up..

Matthew 5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Let not cares and worries of this life discourage you.

This too will pass and our desert will bloom again.
And..
God did not promise....
A life free of pain,
Skies always blue,
Pathway strewn with flowers,
A bed of roses,
Only sunshine with no rain,
Only joy & not sorrows,
No heart breaking incident...
But He has promised.....
Grace for the trials,
Light for the way,
Strength when we are weak,
A lift when we fall,
His undying love,
His presence with us at all time!
To mend a broken heart..
This gives us the courage to keep walking this narrow Path...
May Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be Multiplied on each of you.
What about you?
God Bless,
Julia
