This morning as I was driving my daughter to school I smelled something different. It was the smell of last nights dinner embedded into my clothes. Then I started to think that I really didn't like the smell and the only way to get to out of my clothes was to wash them. Granted I could use frabreze or some other "masking" agent but that would only work for a moment. As I sat there driving I started to think about how true that is with the world. We will be involved or around things of this world and it gets it's "stink" on us. I can think of countless times throughout my life that I gave into the things of this world and participated fully and the after affect was always worst. The guilt, shame, mental battles, etc (aka the stink of this world) and it seemed the smell would get into my life and even though others couldn't smell it I could.
As I have found that I don't care to stink! As for spiritually, I want don't want to have the stink of the world on my life, in fact I want a life full of blessing and abundance form Christ not shame and guilt of this world. So next time before you jump into the things of this world think if it is worth it to have the stink of the world on you, if it is worth the pain, the guilt, and the shame. But remember most of all that there is life more abundant in Christ, a life free of guilt and shame, and the smell of heaven on you!
