Remember the good ‘ole days? The days when the saltshaker freely sat on the table at a restaurant just begging to be used? I miss those days. I miss the salt. And I don’t like having to interrupt the wait staff to ask them to bring me some salt – in a paper packet – that’s hard to open – that contains a miniscule portion of the salt I wish to use to flavor my food. Anyone else?

Two thoughts:

1. The world is asking for the salt.

Yes, in restaurants across the world, people are asking for the salt. Literally. And metaphorically, the world is asking for the salt. For the seasoning to life.

2. We are the salt.

Jesus said, “You are here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste Godliness?” (Matthew 5:13 The Message).

We are the salt the world is asking for! If we are hard to find, how will people taste Godliness? The world shouldn’t have to ask. The salt should be sitting there freely just begging to be tasted.

I want to be the salt. Anyone else?
