SALT🧂
As condiment, it is used to enhance the flavor and taste of food. The quantity of salt added to a pot of food may seem insignificant compared to the volume of food in total, but the addition makes a significant change in the taste.
As preservative, it acts to preserve, especially when added to food. Hence, improving the shelf life of the food without it undergoing spoilage.
But when salt looses its saltiness(savour), it becomes useless to its purpose...
We are salt...and we have got a purpose to fulfill in life.
If we loose our relevance, we may as well become useless...
If we do not know our purpose, we will just live life without any meaning...little wonder, when purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.
As salt of the earth, you are expected to;
✓ Spice up People's lives. Make your presence felt in a positive new light. You should be the sweetness that drives the staleness away and make life enjoyable to those you come in contact with.
✓ You should be a preserver of lives...not be one who cut people's lives short...because of the vile use of your tongue. Your words should be seasoned enough to edify, encourage and admonish others in the Lord.
As salt, your savour should be felt in the lives of others.
You may say, what difference can you make compared to the multitude of evil doers in the world today! Remember, the quantity of salt used in a pot of food may be insignificant, but it's presence becomes significant when added.
You may be insignificant compared to the multitude, just display your extensive use and watch how little changes begin to spring forth from your little corner till it spreads abroad.
