Salt of the Earth
Feb 09, 2009
When Jesus says we are to be the salt of the earth, it means more than I realized. He said to be salt that which refreshes, soothes, heals and causes others to thirst for living water. I am involved in a youth prison ministry and I have struggled for a long time when we go into the prison because of my physical limitations. I had to sit in a chair and watch the activities with the youth from the sidelines. I couldn't go out and sprinkle my salt, I had to sit and be a "salt lick", waiting for them to come and take a lick. But this weekend when we went into the prison, because of God's healing powers, I felt more equipped to take the salt into the world. The rest of the team was amazed at the miracle in me because I was hardly ever sitting down. I was in and among the team and the boys and was an active participant in God's work. And, the best part is, it is just the beginning. Thank you God!
