In my prayer and devotions this morning,

I stumbled upon a most moving description of the Lord. 

 I would like to share it with you here:

"My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En-gedi".

~song of solomon 1:14~

As I dug a little deeper, I discovered that a

'cluster of camphire' is essentially a

cluster of henna blossoms. (niv). 

A beautiful fragrant flower. 

My devotional calls this

 'exquisite perfume in abundance!'

As I sometimes struggle along in the midst

of days, moments and seasons that are

 not so 'fragrant'...I am learning to lean more

and more on the beautiful fragrance of my Lord. . 

He sweetens the air I breath. Through the stumbling darkness,

He is my light.  In the midst of my battle, He is my peace.

 my sweet 'cluster of camphire'

Beautiful Lord, may the fragrance of your presence lift us into meadows of sweetness and may we be an exquisite fragrance unto you today.  AMEN
