Ephesians 5:2 “And walk in love, as CHRIST loved us and gave HIMSELF up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to GOD.”
HIS Beautiful “Blind” Roses!
Do flowers have senses to know which is greatest:
To smell if they’re better or lesser than others?
What means might they have to discern if they’ve faded and nearing the end of their floral display?
No! They only serve outward without any measure.
Their focus is solely what GOD gave as Sight.
As such, in like manner, let’s serve HIM with blinders
doing solely what HE has designed for our lives!
Thus wholly commissioned while absent of pride,
may our efforts be spent giving praise to our KING…
without looking at others in judgment — dismissive.
Yes! Let’s just be set on dispensing HIS fragrance!
As HIServant in your service, bent upon being the sweet smelling aroma of CHRIST to all so that some would be moved towards the LIGHT,

Devotional: “2 Corinthians 2:15-16 “For we are the aroma of CHRIST to GOD among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,”
“16 To the one the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is worthy of these things?”
Roses don’t look at others in the same dozen and claim superiority.
In fact, no flower does. No matter the honor and praise we give them.
And! That’s how GOD expects us, HIS children, to serve while here on earth.
We must be “blind” to comparisons other than drawing closer to CHRIST.
So rejoice with the fields of flowers who praise HIM and let’s HIM our best through the works HE’s assigned!
Amen and amen.
