Salt


Matthew 5:13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. (NIV)

In your daily life, the world swirls in the filth of dirty jokes, pornography, corruption, crime, hatred, bigotry, irreverence, and lawlessness. In the middle of this darkness there is you. In the middle of this darkness you are to be a tiny salt crystal, a tiny light to make the world more bearable, more kind, and a little more survivable. Salt is used both as a seasoning and as a preservative. You add taste in a tasteless world. You are the preservative that keeps the world from unraveling and falling apart. Be the salt by giving love, giving understanding, and shining the light of His truth into the hearts of all those you know.
