Jesus reaches to us in different of ways and at times with innate substances that are taken for granted, yet they are employed by Him to remind us of that which He is doing to us, see what happened to our sister Marion:

Recently I bought a new product on the laundry aisle of the grocery store which has been a helpful commodity in our household. The liquid in this spray bottle removes odors from fabrics when applied. You just spray it on, and the invisible odor droplets are consumed and obliterated. It is quite amazing the way it works! Just soaking up those smells. I don't understand how this happens, but I know it gets the job done! I have tried it...and, sure enough, odor is gone!

God is willing to do the same for you and for me. Each of us was born with our own stench of sin, and only God can remove it. He can just soak up the smell of our wrongdoing and remove it from our lives. He does this through the shed blood of Jesus, who died on the cross for us. Just as I don't understand how Febreeze works, neither do I understand how Jesus sacrifices work, but I know- by faith that it does!

How thankful I am that my distance from God can be removed - once and for all soaked up and dissolved into nothingness by the shed blood of Jesus.   

How thankful I am

May this be our experience too!
