This white lily is pure and spotless, emitting a very sweet fragrance. It’s a picture of what we become as the bride of Christ. He washes us with the water of the word (Ephesians 5:26). We actually smell sweet when He transforms us by the renewing of our mind (2 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 12:2). Don’t swallow a line from random “religious” persons who come your way- you may compromise your sweetness!-Teresa

2Corinthians 11:1-4 (NLT)

11 “I hope you will put up with a little more of my foolishness. Please bear with me. 2 For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride[a] to one husband—Christ. 3 But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. 4 You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.”
