While soaking in God’s presence one day, He showed me a mountain of burden being lifted off our world, I’ve been praying daily for the manifest presence of God to fill the hearts of everyone. One day while saying this prayer silently to myself while my caregiver was caring for me. She let out a huge sigh the moment I prayed for His presence to fill people’s hearts! He shows up!

He also showed me that we are like the fragrance in the alabaster jar that Mary broke over Jesus’ feet. This fragrance stayed with Him during His death, burial and resurrection. We are that fragrance, He said. And it occurred to me that there’s an element to perfume that is likened to the chemicals in feces. It’s called a, “low note.”

“According to HMDB (Human Metabolome Database), which is like IMDB for chemicals, indole “occurs naturally in human feces and has an intense fecal smell. At very low concentrations, however, it has a flowery smell, and is a constituent of many flower scents (such as orange blossoms) and perfumes.” … Indole!Nov 13, 2018

So even with all of our sin, God still makes something beautiful. We are His perfect creations. Made in His image, to release our fragrance to the world so people can know He is Love, because we are love.
