Salt Beauty
Matthew 5:13 “ you are the salt of the earth”
Then and now, salt has a wide number of important purposes. One use for salt is to add flavour to food ( seasoning) while another important use is for preservation (preventing the spoiling of food) & another use is as a disenfectant.
Seasoning – If there is one thing that salt does it's that it enhances the flavor. This should also be true of us. We should enhance and enrich the lives of people that we come in contact with. Ask yourself this question, "how do people feel after they talk to me? Better yet, how have you enriched their lives when they leave your presence?"
Preserver – One of the uses of salt is to preserve. That is what you and I are called to do. We need to preserve integrity. We should be preserving values and morals that people can see.
Disinfectant – Another use of salt was as a disinfectant. Salt became an agent of healing. We should be agents of healing. We should be the type of people that seek to close wounds and prevent them from spreading. There are people who have been hurt, that have made mistakes, that have done things they regret. If we allow them to stay in those places, they can allow the bacteria of their past to begin to eat away at them, keeping them trapped and robbing them of their future. We should be the type of people that can stop those types of things from spreading.
The truth is the value of salt is not when it is in the shaker. Salt can’t season, preserve, disinfect until it comes out of the shaker. That is the only time salt really does what it is supposed to do. Salt is designed to be spread not to be stuck together. If the salt stays in the shaker then there can be no impact and it can make no difference. My prayer is that we would all be salt today going about and impacting the places that we are called to be.
