Fragrance — Part 2
It is possible for you to be fragrant in this world. Keep close to Christ, walk in happy company with Him, and let your heart drink in His love and you will be fragrant to Him.
Is there anything greater than that? No eye may see you but His, no ear hear you but His, no heart appreciate your act or thought but His, yet how precious — I can be fragrant for the Lord Jesus! Nothing is so delightful to Him as to have you walking with Himself. If this is so, we will surely come in contact with weary souls who need refreshment. We can speak of Jesus in such a way that there will be a Christ-likeness about us. True greatness is the measure in which the excellence of Christ flows forth from us.
“Because of the savour of Thy good ointments Thy name is as ointment poured forth” (Song of Solomon 1:3). When here on earth the Lord was not great as men count greatness. He chose no place of prominence. When by force they would make Him king, He said, “My time is not yet come” (John 7:6). To do His Father’s will was His one commanding business. What fragrance came forth from Him! What a lesson for us!
