For we are his workmanship, created in Yahusha Alahim for good works, which Alahim prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

In Proverbs, sweetness is never mere sentimentality. It is anchored in wisdom, discernment, and covenant loyalty. Like honey (Psalm 19:10; Proverbs 16:24), מֶתֶק functions as a metaphor for moral goodness that both delights and nourishes. Thus, its presence signals integrity, while its absence warns of folly or flattery (Proverbs 26:24–26)

Did you know Wisdom comes from Alahim?

Did you know that Yahusha is Alahim?

His divine wisdom is given to those to save those who are captives to sin and death; who are captive and cultivated in the snares of wickedness and by demons. Leviticus regarding burnt offerings, and in the New Testament to describe the sacrifice of Yahusha Alahim and the sacrificial service/giving of believers. For we are the aroma of Yahusha Alahim among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

Therefore, be imitators of Yahusha Alahim, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Yahusha Alahim loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to Alahim.

This is the fulfilment of Scripture when we become imitators of Yahusha Alahim in behaviour and attitude.

We are to be imitators of Yahusha Alahim and the way he lived. Yahusha Alahim is just there waiting to bless us and reward us for this type of behaviour! Hallelujah!!! Love conquers all. Love WILL prevail.

Strength in Weakness: Sweetness (softness/tenderness) is sometimes perfected and intensified (glorified) through vulnerability. Reflecting the Divine: Practising "angelic sweetness"—attentiveness to the needs of others—is described as a "mirroring" of divine love, transforming a normal act into a "glorified" or holy one.

"You are the salt of the earth. But if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?"

Again

(Matthew 7:17-18, KJV): "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit".

So, how about that, brothers and sisters? Are you excited? Are you ready for a change of heart and be sweet on others so that they may glorify Yahusha Alahim, who is in Heaven? They will know you by your fruit. Good works bring us to Yahusha, knowing us.
