Sometimes the Holy Spirit leaves a scent on me. He seems to come in quiet moments in the midst of my surrendering.
For a minute, I set aside my wants and my will to Him, and simply receive whatever He has to give.
I say, “Holy Spirit come”.
Breathe your life into me and leave your scent upon me.
It’s like He knows best how to waft through a room. He touches hearts and changes minds almost magically.
Sometimes we don’t have to say a word. He can leave such a strong impression with a person simply by being Him.
Simply by me being around Him.
Honestly, I get smelly without Him leaving His scent of glory on me.
I wonder if…
Do I leave the Holy Spirit’s scent lingering in a room when I leave?
Or do I just do my own thing?
If I listen, I will hear His whispers in promptings to speak, or not to speak.
That is the question.
Sometimes, the Holy Spirit does His thing and doesn’t need me.
He works supernaturally!
If you’re a Christian, have you ever wondered if people can tell that you are, without you having to say anything?
If you’re not a Christian, have you ever experienced the love of God through another person through them just being a friend, and not through them preaching with words?
I pray that as we consider the Holy Spirit as one of the parts to the God of all creation, we all get left smelling a little sweeter, and leave understanding a little more…
of what life in the Spirit smells like.

I want to breathe Him in moment by moment so I can breathe Him out everywhere I go!
Shannon, you just said that perfectly. I love that! Come Holy Spirit, come!
Amy, your blog, your loving encouragement, your wisdom, just gathers me up in His presence. I want to be noticed as a daughter of God — yes — without me ever needing to say a word!! How beautiful! I pray I do leaves traces of Him where I go, as He flows through me, and I want to become increasingly open wide for everything He has. I don’t want to miss out on this Life! Bless you! You bless me greatly, sweet friend.

Good Morning to you Nicole! Thanks for sharing sister! God is so good to us! I’m excited to get to know you more…
That part of Galations just showed up in my after dinner reading yesterday
I love you. And I love that you pointed out the He changes our minds and touches our hearts “almost magically”– divinely. I’m so grateful for that today. I’m grateful that He always knows what He’s doing and He’s always doing it perfectly right. Today, I choose to believe THAT morsel of joy 
And how AMAZING is that Ambrosia! I’m so happy to hear about and see the work that our great God is doing so personally for you… in your life! I see His hand of mercy all over you, NOTHING will be wasted! ALL will be used for His GLORIOUS name {JESUS}… even your name “Ambrosia”… you will be a beautiful fragrance, a pouring out of the scent of His Holy Spirit. He is bringing everything together for you pretty daughter. I’m so thankful for you!!!
Love, Amy
