Philippians 4:18-19

"I have been paid in full and have more than enough; I am fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice well acceptable and pleasing to God.  And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to His riches in glory of Christ Jesus."

The idea of Paul being "full and [having] more than enough," looks like a cup.  Epaphroditus and the Philippian church came to see to his needs, like a waiter would.  They discovered that he was low on sweet wine.  They began to pour, every drop coming from their personal reserves.  Soon, Paul's cup was full, but they continued to pour - because living a life of service provides joy.  Paul's cup overflowed.

Paul tells the Philippians that their cup will overflow soon as well.  God will supply the sweet aroma for them.

Are you a part of this cycle? 
Do you serve and watch as faces light up? 
Where are you in the sweet aroma system that is God's service and love?
