Have you ever smelled Jesus? I know I say His name sweetly and softly quite often when He is speaking with me. And I can only imagine the scent of this man. This perfect man. I can only imagine that His scent alone would draw you closer and closer. But imagine this -
Imagine drawing so close to this Man that you....you.... begin to smell like Him. His fragrance rubs off on you. I've never thought of this before - it came across my mind today as the Lord revealed it to me, through an encounter I had with someone else. I am going to be completely honest and super humble here. I went to work this morning, feeling quite disgusting. I hadn't had a shower in a couple days and in my opinion... I thought I would have stunk a little bit (plan was to have a shower after my shift... don't worry, I wasn't with customers today). Me and two other coworkers were working pretty closely together, but Olena mentioned someone smelling really nice and asked both Nicole and I if we were wearing perfume. Me - no, I don't wear perfumes of any kind. Nicole wasn't either. We both looked at eachother and shrugged. A few minutes later however she said CAITLIN IT'S YOU! It's me what? You smell really good!
The Lord told me right then, it's Me. It's the scent that I carry with Me. It's the sweet, pure scent that causes people to draw near. Me, I couldn't smell it on me at all. I had no idea what she was talking about.... but I'm left to ponder something even now...
Does this scent smell different to everyone? Is it a smell that is distinctly sweet and perfect to them....
