Your Question:
Why did I have to lose my sense of smell?
Answer:
I'm not sure how your situation relates to the loss of your sense of smell, but I'd like to share a passage from the Bible that talks about the significance of smell in relation to God. In the book of Genesis, it's mentioned that the smell of animal sacrifice was pleasing to God. This idea is also seen in the use of incense in worship, which was meant to evoke a sweet smell and clouds of smoke, reminiscent of the sacrifices. However, I couldn't find any direct connection between the Bible's teachings on smell and the loss of one's sense of smell. It's possible that the information you provided about thick white smoke and incense is unrelated to your question. As a pastor, I've come across various explanations for the loss of one's sense of smell. In some cases, it can be caused by head injuries, infections, or exposure to certain chemicals. I'm not aware of any specific reason why you might have lost your sense of smell, but I'm happy to offer support and guidance as you navigate this experience.
