Sweet perfume or stinky rag?

Do you smell like sweet perfume or a stinky dish rag?  2 Corinthians 2:14b says (I'm paraphrasing) 'spread the Good News of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.'  To say it another way, we should be praying 'Lord, make me a sweet perfume to all who come in contact with me.'  So:

• ...at your office, are you a sweet perfume or the one who is always talking bad about your co-workers?  Ephesians 4:29b/Psalm 39:1 "Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.  I said to myself, 'I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say.  I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.'"
• ...at your church, are you a sweet perfume or the one who always has to point out what they didn't like about the service?  Philippians 2:14/1 Corinthians 1:10 "Do everything without complaining and arguing [and] agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you.
• ...at your home, are you a sweet perfume or the one who constantly nags and belittles your spouse?  Proverbs 27:15/21:9 "A quarrelsome spouse is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day.  Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse."

If you fit one or all of the above descriptions, ask God to help you throw away that stinky dish rag smell and, instead, become a sweet perfume to all you come in contact with.  And how do you do this?  You stick close to the sweetest perfume of all:  Jesus.
