Show Yourself Different
"Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
-- Luke 14:34-35
Christians aren't supposed to blend in with the rest of the world. Jesus tells us to be like salt. We are to flavor the world with goodness and kindness, love and forgiveness. We are to be distinct among those filled with greed and anger, hatred and selfishness. Others should see us and know us as Christians by our actions. Do they?
Look around your world today. What do you see? Are you just like your neighbor? Do you covet what you don't have? How far will you go to get that promotion? Who will you hurt to get your child a better opportunity? What will you say or do to go along with the crowd? Have you allowed yourself to become a bland version of everyone around you?
The world could use a little goodness -- a little saltiness -- today. Let those around you see that you are different. Distinct. Jesus lives inside you. Let is show.
