Devotional:
The power of a fragrance, lies within the concentration of its oil. The greater the concentration, the more fragrant the smell. When we desire to linger in God’s presence, we open an entirely new realm of intimacy. Graduating us from seeking God on a circumstantial basis, to a relational one.
When lingering in the presence of the Lord, His scent overtakes us. The stench of who we once were fades away. Only leaving behind, His goodness. A fragrance so sweet, that it captivates the nostrils of all those we encounter. Openly inviting them, into their own relationship with Him.
As Kingdom Builders, we must desire to carry the fragrance of God. The more of Him we carry, the greater impact we will have on those around us.
So may we learn to linger in God’s presence, for the sake of the Kingdom…

It’s funny that this was the newest post because I am actively lingering in God’s presence and it brought me to this.
I am actually listening to your “New Season” worship music currently, and as I was finishing up my morning devotion time, I was about to get up and go about my day, but something Told me to wait & just be in the moment….so I just allowed your voice to repeat “This is your new season. He’s doing a new thing. You better receive it.”🙏🏾
I thank God for your obedience, Sun’ray 💕
