I felt so sorry for myself this morning as I pondered what I call my miserable life. The past month or more I’ve intensely become aware of my mistakes in life, of the people I’ve let down, of failures in businesses and many, many more to leave me sulking in the Lord and wondering how He could still be loving me. However, I saw Him tenderly holding my head against His chest comforting me. Then He told me the following:
“What do you see when you open your eyes?”
I was sitting at my desk and the first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes were the flashing lights of the internet hub and network hub on my desk, “I see those flashing lights Lord.”
“Yes, Ken, those lights in front of you are indicating that they constantly search for a signal to devices that is connected to it. Likewise, I am searching for signals of people who are connected to Me, those who have decided to follow Me. I pick up each and every signal of prayer and worship with joy.
At this time in your life you feel your life is wasted. You feel you’ve made too many mistakes and you have disappointed too many people to be of value any more. Because of that, you feel that it would be impossible for Me to love you or assist you any longer.
Now, listen closely, I love you unconditionally and I love you regardless of all your mistakes. Loving you and experiencing your love is like touching and feeling the most beautiful flower in the world. You have a unique fragrance. Every person has a unique fragrance equal to the uniqueness of a fingerprint. You and everybody else have been endowed with a different and unique fragrance each
I gave dogs a special gift of smell to detect the odour of someone who walked in nature the day before and follow the footprints leading to the person for miles. They are able to detect the odour of the person’s footprint where it only momentarily touched the ground.
I am able to detect the fragrance of your spirit and I love it! Every prayer of a believer is incense, a wonderful fragrance going up to God (Rev 8:4). I know instantly who that fragrance belongs to the moment I receive it.
Each fragrance smells awesome. It is a fragrance equal to a room full of roses mingled with love and light, framed by a smile revealing an open and honest heart. I love to smell that fragrance all day long! Can you imagine how awesome the fragrance is of many people, each with their own individual fragrance worshiping Me together?
Contrary to you we find fallen spirits, the demons, who have become rotten and each of them has a horrible disgusting smell. Some people follow them and tragically will become as they are.
You have been redeemed. Never stop praying – talk to Me continually. Why would you follow Me and not talk to Me all day long? I love the fragrance of your spirit!
PS – You’re not the only one with mistakes. In fact, I know nobody who is without it.”
