“For we are
a fragrance of Christ to God
among those who are being saved
and among those who are perishing;”
[2 Corinthians 2:15]




Joy is the signature fragrance
of a saved child of God.

Rejoicing only when something good happens
and rejoicing only when it benefits you
is not true joy because it is conditional.
It is not true joy because it disappears when difficulties arise.

The joy we have in the Lord
is a joy that we always have,
regardless of our circumstances.
Even if the reality is hard and difficult,
we have eternal life
that we can’t trade for anything,
and we are full of hope for the afterlife.
It makes us have joy
springing from the depths of heart.

The fragrance of this joy
brings comfort and happiness
to not only ourselves
but also to the people around us.
