Thoughts 

How was it that, even in the common tasks of an ordinary life, Jesus drew the praise of heaven?  At the core of His being, He only did those things which pleased the Father.  In everything, He stayed true, heartbeat to heartbeat, with the Father’s desires.  Jesus lived for God alone; God was enough for Him.  Thus, even in its simplicity and moment-to-moment faithfulness, Christ’s life was an unending fragrance, a perfect offering of incomparable love to God. - Francis Frangipane
