fragrance

Thursday March 25th, John 12: 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. One of the visions I get from this text is the whole house being filled with Mary’s adoration and worship. What a wonderful description of what worship should be. Let the whole house of God be filled with the fragrance of your worship. Let the whole life before you be filled with the fragrance of your worship. I am not talking about a little incense here, which too often results in forcing the allergy prone to flee worship and not come back, but rather let there be such love and adoration that the very atmosphere and the lives that live therein are changed. Let the very breath of God fill your lungs and tickle your senses and then share that experience, that fragrance of life with others. Then leave that place, go out, and serve with the fragrance of worship still in heart.
