Perfume

One thing that I have found to be very important to me is smelling good. I know most people like to smell good or at least don't want to be known for smelling bad but I have a passion for smelling good. I am a bath and body works addict why you might ask well because they give you the body wash, lotion, body spray and perfume so you can be certain that the smell you love so much is now a part of who you are.

Now as with many things in life I could take the whole smelling good thing a few different directions be it how we are supposed to be a fragrant offering pleasing to the Lord. Or just like body wash cannot cover up BO doing good things does not cover up doing bad you have to take a shower and become clean before your good works can be good.

However I just want to take a moment and talk about anointing. More specifically Jesus' anointing. When the woman came to dinner and poured expensive perfume over Jesus' feet washing them with her tears and kissing them. It showed so much devotion, so much love. She poured out all she had to give which anointed Jesus it prepared him for what he had to do. I think that is what anointing does. God gives us all he has for us and anoints us for a task for the jobs that he has created us to do. All of the people that come into your life that challenge, teach, diciple, encourage and just pour into your life they are anointing you to walk out in all that God has for you. They leave their "perfume" on you if you will.

Jesus and his calling for your life are not just something that you have, or something that you have recived it is a part of who you are. I am going to go one step further and say it is who you are. Too much of the time we just spritz on our Jesus body spray or throw a little lotion on when we really need it. God created you for his purpose and leads you in his ways so his light, his fragrance, his anointing is who you are. Him working in and through you.

So once again it is that time again. My shameless plug if you like smelling good and encouraging others to do the same. Or and more importantly if you want to do more than spritz on Jesus perfume if you want his scent to be your scent then the refined Beauty DTS might be for you so you can email us here or check out www.ywampittsburgh.com
