Perfumed Letters

Have you ever wondered how you represent God to other people? If someone who didn’t know Jesus looked at you to decide whether to get to know Him, would you attract them or repel them? Just as certain scents, aromas, or perfumes can be pleasing or awful, so can our Christian scent be to others. In the book, Perfumed Letters, author Robin Smith uses her personal story along with the ideas of perfume and scent, and how it relates to pleasing God.

My Thoughts:

Finding the right perfume can be quite the task. Not only are there so many kinds out there, then you have to try them on because they smell different on your skin versus the bottle! Then there are different oils that can be added to make the scent floral, musky, sweet, fruity, etc. And when you find one you like, you usually stick with it, because it becomes associated with you (even if only in your own mind).

Consider how that perfume or scent smells to another person. Maybe they love it. Maybe they’d say it was awful. Perhaps they’d be so repelled by it, they wouldn’t come around you for fear of smelling it. Can you imagine that?

What about how we are judged based on our Christian or faith perfume we wear? If God shapes us, presses us like petals, and turns us into a pleasing, beautiful fragrance to attract others to Him, are we allowing that to surround us and engulf everyone we meet? The author, Robin Smith, talks about how perfume can bring back a memory or be associated with an event in a heartbeat that you remember for the rest of your life. She also talks about how God uses scent to remind us of Him, of our relationship together, and how that scent can be a game changer for those people around us. The book is full of Scripture, as well as reflection points and even questions, which I found helped as I journaled with the book.

There was some sensitive topics discussed in the book about the author’s past and personal life, but I thought she was trying to use them as an example for a reader to relate to honestly.

Be sure to check out the book, Perfumed Letters, by Robin Smith, today on Amazon. It is available in paperback and kindle formats.

Don’t have a Kindle? Grab one for yourself. They are so nice to use for reading. I love my Kindle Fire and my little one uses the e-Reader version (just for reading without the added games and internet options).
