Too Much Salt?

I was visiting a young man this past Christmas...dropping a card off.

I have known the family for a few years and he looked at me...perplexed and say...

“I have been witnessing to a friend for a long time...talking about the Lord...quoting scriptures...I thought I was finally getting through only to find out recently that I wasn't”

I saw the frustration in his eyes...

I looked at him and asked him...”have you ever put too much salt on food?”

He said...”yes sir”....and then he had such a sense of understanding...

We are called to be “salt and light”...I know...as well as many others...that to much salt in any meal will just make it offensive...impalatable...down right yukky...

Just as the wrong light can be blinding...

In God's word it says...”some plant, some water, but GOD gets the increase”...

How many of us want to do the whole job?...thinking...saying...”look who I brought to the Kingdom?!?”

Jesus said...”I will draw all men unto me”...We can only say what it is that the Holy Spirit tells us to say...”don't worry about what you will say when you stand before judges”...

It only takes a little salt to enhance a meal...and it takes the “right light” to do the job nessary...

We wouldn't use a flood light to find something under a bed...just as we wouldn't use a pen light in a light house...

It only takes a small “seed”...planted in the “right soil”...to produce a harvest

Not every heart is ready all the time...

God will set up the “meetings”...and give us the right words for the right people in the right season...

If we are the Salt and Light He can use...in His way...at His time...Those around us will see and experience what it is that we live...and will want what it is that we have...and then...God can begin to work through us...to Reach out to a dieing World.
