Saltiness

God, You are a Great Chef, knowing just how much seasoning creates the best possible mix of flavors. Jesus talked about us, Your people, being salt here on earth, being Your seasoning within our communities. But how can we do that if we only stay to ourselves in Christian gatherings? You haven't called us to cling to other people who also follow Your word, but it is much easier to do so, much more comfortable really. But to do so means we are not following Your word at all. We are called to be about Your work, wherever that leads us. We are called to bring our flavor to the world. We are called to be salt, called to be flavorful in places that lack the zest of Your spirit. We are salt when we blend ourselves with people who may not be a part of our usual circles. We are salt when we seek out people and situations in which we can share Your recipe for living in relationship with You.

Continue to train us as Your chefs, God, understanding the balance of Your seasonings in their measure. Amen.
