Fragrance

Make the Switch from Me, Me, Me

07/14/2024

Me. Me. Me. We probably wouldn’t want to admit it, but in our innermost being, we may be more self-centered than Christ-centered. Our day may not begin with, “Heavenly Father, how can I serve You?” Rather, our first thought may be on what we want to get out of the day. Have you ever considered doing a 180: a turnaround based on Ephesians 5:2?

“Walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.”

In other words, followers of Christ are told to follow His example. We’re to walk in love and offer our lives to God to serve His purposes. What happens when we do? We have the opportunity to be a fragrance of Christ to God and others.

Christ Jesus, You are the ultimate example of being an OFFERING and sacrifice to God. Help us follow Your example so our lives are a fragrance of You. 

We pray that receiving God’s character traits is encouraging to you. If so, please take a moment to like Debbie’s ministry pages on Facebook and Instagram. Be a fragrance of Christ to others by sharing 365 Days of Praise using the social media share buttons or the “Forward to a Friend” button at the bottom of each blog post. Thank you!

Praise to Christ, an OFFERING to GOD

08/08/2018

“Walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an OFFERING and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.”

   Ephesians 5:2

Me. Me. Me. I. I. I.  We probably won’t admit it, but in our innermost being we may be more self-centered than sacrificial. Our day may not begin with, “God, what do You want?” Rather, our first thought may be on what we want. Have you ever considered doing a 180: a turnaround based on Christ’s example? We’re told to “be imitators of God” and to walk in love, just as Christ….who gave Himself up as an OFFERING and sacrifice to God. The result? His life was a fragrant aroma to God.  Why not follow His example? Offer our lives to God. Change from “Me Me Me” to “You, You, You, God.”

Christ Jesus, You are the ultimate example of being an OFFERING and sacrifice to God. Help me think and act like You. 

*I pray that 365 DAYS of PRAISE is an encouragement to you. If so, please LIKE my ministry page HERE. Share these posts with others. Be the fragrance.
