Fragrant

Philippians 4:18-20

I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Fragrant – to have a sweet and pleasing smell. (ambrosial, aromatic, perfumed, redolent, savory, scented, sweet)

My husband recently bought a charcoal grill. We have a gas grill, but there is just something about that charcoal smell. Oh, and the fragrance of something cooked low and slow with the applewood chips. My mouth is watering! I am not sure what a fragrant offering smells like to God, but it has got to be pretty close to that! Whenever we reach out to help someone, we are offering ourselves to God. We become that sacrifice that is pleasing to Him. We have no worries of what we sacrifice, time, money, outselves, God will fill the need left behind. You are how God is filling the need in someone else. He won’t run out of charcoal. He is grilling up a special gift to fill your need also.
