SALT AND LIGHT.....

There is nothing like worshipping together with my family.  Makes my heart happy!  I've never been a huge note taker during sermons, I really just need to listen.  Yet Pastor Dave at New Life (where Mike and Bea go) makes it very easy to do both.  This particular seris we are in is called "Who am I?"

 

I am a lot of things.....a wife, a mother, a daughter, an aunt, a cousin, a niece, a granddaughter, a daughter-in-law, a mother-in-law, a grandmother, a friend, an employee, a lover of flowers, a person with lots of desires, passions, dreams and goals.

 

Until I heard this sermon, I never thought of myself as "salt of the earth" like it says in Matthew 6:13.

 

I know if I let go, let God, get out of the way, God will use me to bring about change.  But if salt loses it flavor, what good is it?  It's gritty and irritable... yet salt

 

*perserves

*purifies

*creates thirst

*melts what is cold and hard

*heals

 

God also wants me to be a light to others.  He wants me to let my light shine in dark places too.  It (light) has its biggest impact in dark places.  Like the Sunday School song goes " this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, don't hide it under a bushel, no, I'm gonna let it shine".  God wants us to put our light on a stand and let it shine for all.  He wants our good deeds to shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise our God!

 

I do believe you have to "have feet to your faith and action to your believeth."

 

I pray for more salt and light in my life.

 

All because of His Amazing Grace....
