Aroma of Christ Bracelet Story

Tree of Life Bead: God’s Plan
God is sovereign. When we allow Him the proper position as God in all things, then we have life. However, when we choose to decide for ourselves what is good and what is bad based on fears or experiences, we assume God's position. In doing so we follow in the steps of Adam and Eve, choosing our own knowledge above God’s. (Gen. 2:8-9, Rev. 22:1-2)

Blue Beads: The Blueprint 

In the Garden, God created humans to experience His life to the full by following His plan for life, but Adam and Eve chose to pursue their own way. Every human after them has been born into this broken form of humanity. When God sent His Son Jesus, He sent the blueprint for life. (Ephesians 1:9-10)

Clay Beads: Living Fully Human

The name Adam is considered to be the generic term for “man” and also means red soil.  When you see the red color of the clay to which the name Adam refers, be reminded that God formed humans in His image. Each bead on this bracelet was sculpted from clay in Haiti. The clay beads are porous enabling the aroma of oil to be absorbed. In the same way, we must allow our lives to absorb the very essence of Jesus.  (2 Corinthians 2:14-17)

Small Spacer Beads: God’s Timing

There are times that life’s circumstances feel worthless, but sometimes God allows those very circumstances so that we are where we need to be for His purpose. (Isaiah 55:8-9)

String: God’s Power

The Spirit of God breathes life and weaves all creation together. Everything is held together by Him. (Job 33:4, Col. 1:16, John 1:3)

Butterfly Charm: New Life

The DNA of a caterpillar is the same DNA as a butterfly. In the same way, if the Spirit of God lives in you, your DNA matches the DNA of Jesus. (2 Cor. 3:17)
