Salt and Light

Matthew 5:13-16 (The Message)

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

You have been called the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We can spend much time being discouraged by the evil, darkness, and destruction in our world. Today's proverb reminds us that we can be a part of changing our world for the better. How are you salt and light in your world? Who has been salt and light for you?
