Smell the Coffee
Dear friends came to visit us after they’d been in Rwanda
for a month, so they brought us a bag of coffee. We so enjoyed our time seeing
them again, and long after they have gone, I am reminded of them every time I
make coffee. It is delicious coffee, with a mild, rich aroma and taste, and its
fragrance makes me smile as I remember their cheerful smiles and the time we
spent together.
Their presence lingers on in the smell of the coffee. Jesus’
presence lingers on in the words of the Bible. Reading about what he did and what
he said fills my mind with the rich fragrance of his loving presence. His words
draw me into his warm embrace where I can linger and sense his encouragement
and peace.
May you sit back and enjoy the fragrance of Jesus today,
either through his words in the Bible or through the lives of others who love
him. May his fragrance draw you into his embrace, and overpower the foul,
worldly smells rising all around.
