My Fragrance
“For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing” (2 Corinthians 2:15).
I am for you. I am with you. I go before, knowing what is ahead. I stand behind, my hand on your shoulder, so close you can smell my presence. Yes, there is a fragrance of my Spirit. This is where I invite you to live—your truest self, stripped of all insecurities, all what-ifs, all doubts and fears and pains.
Breathe deeply, my dear one. Breathe in sweetness and hope. Breathe in newness and the clean air I bring.
I draw you in.
Let Me be your strength. There, you are glorious. Let Me be the hand you hold—all weight lifted, all sorrow behind. Let Me cup your face in my hands. Let Me look on you. Let Me hold you. Let Me walk next to you. Match my stride.
I show you how.
There is a pace—within this fragrance of my presence—where I invite you to stay. Keep that pace. You know the pace, the rhythm, the movement of your moments when you can breathe Me and smell the fragrance of Me with you.
I envelop you. I carry you. And all whom you meet will be in my presence, with you, too. They will be enveloped in the fragrance of Me. All you do with Me points the people you meet to the fragrance. Let it spread. Keep in step. Check the pace. Let it be a rhythm that is natural.
Practice.
Breathe.
I show you how.

Today is a new day. For some of us, it’s an entirely new season. Holy Spirit, speak to us now … “Expect this new season to be one of fullness—the fullness of life awaiting you. You see it. You know it. Sometimes, though, you forget. Don’t forget, child, Don’t forget what is in you, how you know Me, how I want you to know Me more.” → From FLAG No. 44, “A New Way to Live.” Yes, Lord, I want more of You. Show me how.
Over at the Prayer Corner of Loop Collective, we lift each other up in prayer. We pray for sisters who need wisdom, healing, support, finances—whatever it may be. If you need prayer or encouragement, or if you want to intercede for your sisters in Christ, you’re welcome to join us. Your prayers are more powerful than you know.
Our culture has a lot to say about love, but that doesn’t mean it’s always biblical. As daughters of the God who created all things, including love, we must ask: Lord, what is love? How do You define it? To answer that, we must go to His Word. Here’s a list of Bible verses about love and what they can teach us about the heart of our Good Shepherd. I pray Holy Spirit encourages you as you meditate on these passages—He has so much to show us.
