What's That Smell?

My husband does not like strong scents. Strong perfume gives him a headache, so I can not wear perfume  smell better. So my goal is to not smell bad, more than to smell good. 

15 To God we are the aroma of Christ among those who are saved and among those who are dying. 16 To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a life-giving fragrance. 
2 Corinthians 2:15-16 (GWT)
With regard to Christ, our life as Christians should either reek of death for the pre-Christian or reek of life for our brothers and sisters. When and if our lives do not smell with the aroma of Christ...we can pray as the Psalmist prays in Psalm 51:10 and put to music by Keith Green.


Create in Me a Clean Heart by Keith Green

Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit within me

Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord
And take not Thy holy spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me

Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit within me

Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord
Take not Thy holy spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me

Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit within me

Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord
Take not Thy holy spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me


James 4:14,
Camelot
