My life smells like a... Dirty Diaper?

It's difficult to concentrate with the smell of rotten diaper poop beside me. Smell easily distracts and overpowers. Likewise, our life, as an offering, needs to be as a sweet smelling aroma. Take out the "trash" in your life and see the clean fresh aroma bring an air of freedom and clarity in your thinking.

You cannot "take out the trash" without exposing it to the light for a certain time. It has to "come out" to "be put out". So, share your struggles, your burdens, your weaknesses, your sins and be vulnerable. And, when you are shared with, stand in prayer and support and love of your sister/brother...not condemnation and pride.

Philippians 2:1-3

Imitating Christ’s Humility

2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, ² then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. ³ Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

And I will share our family Bible memory verse this month: Above all else love each other deeply. Because love covers a multitude of sins. 1st Peter 4:8

Don't give God the offering of a dirty diaper life. Expose your "trash" to the light and be rid of it... and in doing so, experience the beautiful fragrant aroma of a life of sweet smelling offering to God.

Sometimes my life smells like a... Dirty Diaper? Yep, it does. So, now what? Let's work together to carry our trash to the dump station and leave it there....the foot of the bloody cross is messy--but He already knows that--He's ready for it, dirty diaper stench and all.

Love,
Abs
