For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 2 Corinthians 2:15

“Simplicity in behavior of manners has an enchanting effect, and never fails to gain our affection.”

Henry Home, also known as Lord Kames (1696-1782), a central voice in the Scottish enlightenment .in Day’s Collacon, compiled and arranged by Edward Parsons Day (New York: IPPO, 1884) 860.

Sammy and I returned home last night. We spent quality time with those who are saved and now enter a world filled with the saved and the perishing.

Will our lives have an “enchanting effect” on those around us? I pray so.

God, cause our simplicity internally to exhibit generosity externally so we reflect your kindness to those who are saved and those who are perishing.
