A Musing: Love in Five Senses: Touch and Smell

Today's show:
Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing.                                                                       2 Cor. 2:15 (NLT)

Today is the last episode in our series about the 5 senses and how we Love God and receive His love through them.

Today I will be discussing both touch and smell. I'll address how God's touch effects us and how we can touch the heart of God. I'll also tackle aroma and the role that scent plays in our faith walk.
