Why Salt & Light

Perhaps little girls are made of "sugar and spice and everything nice." This girl happens to be made of Salt and Light.

Matthew 5:13 MSG
"Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage."

5:14-16
"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven." 

 My hope is that when people see my life, they get a taste of who God is. I pray I can be a reflection of who God is in our lives. I love how the verse 16 is translated in The Message, "By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God..." That is my hope for you.
