Does God think you stink?

I believe God is perfect and cannot be near sin. Sin when we develop the habit of saying "no" to God which is essentially all sin is. When allow sin to make a home in our lives we keep his presence at a distance. We have a malodorous essence to God; we stink. But when we say "yes" we allow him to come closer and we begin to have a sweet aroma to the Lord. When we say yes to intimacy, yes to the random nudges of the spirit, yes to simple obedience, his presence begins to dwell more richly. Do you hunger and thirst to have the Spirit dwell so richly in you that like Charles Finney that the masses are moved to repentance simply by being near you? It seems to me it starts by letting God have his way with you in the simple things so that His Spirit doesn't find you "stinky" but is able to settle at home within you!
