“Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved.”
C.S. Lewis, The Problem with Pain
The winds of circumstance enter our lives
unannounced and uninvited.
Yet, these same winds can also take the essential oils of
love, mercy, and grace
throughout this life we have been given.
There is a redemptive nature amidst this tempest . . .
just as the winsome scent of an herb is released in the bruising,
as it's tossed about in the gale,
We too can release an aroma fresh and fragrant ...
upward toward God...outward toward the world.
"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ,
and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place."
(2 Cor. 2:14-15)
