Godly Character Exudes a Fragrance

May 22nd, 2026

SCRIPTURE: “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? “ 2 Corinthians 2:14-16

The description of character is presented in the Bible,
My behaviors should resemble and imitate who I follow.

Beyond what I say, walking in the spirit is the proof,
Exhibiting Galatians 5 will attract others to His fruit.

Salt and light of the world should be my persona,
My character should activate a sweet-smelling aroma.

No matter the challenges, no matter the task,
How I respond in the on-site Christian will last.

I have the responsibility to be a joy-bearing agent,
The Lord is behind my kindness, joy, peace, and patience.

After all, the Lord didn’t bless me only for the benefit of myself,
The joy and peace that He provides are a witness for someone else.

The imprint and impact of His grace and mercy eliminate barriers,
The Lord demonstrates His glory and hope through our character.

So, as I grow in the knowledge of my Father throughout my days,
I will walk in a manner worthy of Him, and please Him in every way.

Prayer: I am Your instrument, Lord! Forgive me for only considering myself. I’ve failed to acknowledge how important my character is to You. I’ve kept Your favor a secret. Have mercy, Lord! Renew my spirit, actions, and words. I desire to imitate You so that Your goodness is on display. Shine through me, Lord, and I will be careful to give You all the glory. In the name of Jesus! Amen!
