It does not matter how good I smell on the outside if there is stench on the inside. I want to focus on my inside and make it as fresh as possible. That is the fragrance God smells.

Personally, I do not have a “Bucket List” but if I did this would not be
one of the items on it. 

Trying to be polite, I informed the young woman I was late for an
appointment and needed to get on right away. 

“Oh,” she said very cheerfully, “this will not take long at all.” 

With that said, and before I could process what she said, she began
rubbing my face with body ointment or lotion of some sort. I froze and 
for a few moments, I could not even move. Even the little grey cells 
upstairs were shocked into a rare state of stillness. 

“Now, you smell wonderful.” 

It was at that time I retired with honor my gentlemanly manners and
started running as fast as I could run without drawing too much 
attention to myself. 

I smelled that “fragrance” for three days in spite of the fact that I
took 17 showers in the meantime. 

Sometimes our focus is always on the outside. I like what Jesus said,
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the 
outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of 
extortion and excess” (Matthew 23:25). 

It does not matter how good I smell on the outside if there is stench on
the inside. I want to focus on my inside and make it as fresh as 
possible. That is the fragrance God smells.
