The Aroma of Christ

As I sat this morning, Bible in hand, enjoying the sweetness of my Lord Jesus throughout the garden He has created in my heart, a gentle cool breeze wafted its way through our living room window bringing with it a bouquet of wonderful smells from nature. As I delighted in these scents, Christ's Spirit immediately reminded me of something I had written a few years back.

A Confession

Who am I before the Lord? I am nothing! And who am I compared to others? All that has been accomplished in and through me has been accomplished by Christ's Spirit! If I hope to be useful to God I must walk before Him simultaneously as His grateful son and slave. Am I willing to so debase myself before God and men? My flesh wars against this desire (Romans 7). But O Lord, I so want to be as David before You (1 Samuel 16); please make it so.

Dying to Self, Living for Christ

"When my flesh yearns for some prohibited thing, I must die. When called to do something I don't want to do, I must die. When I wish to be selfish and serve no one, I must die. When shattered by hardships that I despise, I must die. When wanting to cling to wrongs done against me, I must die. When enticed by allurements of the world, I must die. When wishing to keep besetting sins secret, I must die. When wants that are borderline needs are left unmet, I must die. When dreams that are good seem shoved aside, I must die.
