We become like the people we spend time with. John reflects on the invitation to stay close to Jesus, not through striving, but through the honest, sometimes difficult journey of prayer and intimacy with God. Because the more time we spend with Him, the more His presence begins to shape the way we speak, respond and live. We carry the fragrance of the One we’ve been with.
