“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” Matthew 5:13

You, my friend, have an offering to the world inside of you. You have something intricately valuable within that can affect change in the lives of others.

The term “influence” has become a part of our everyday language. Many are looking to their peers and others for encouragement, guidance, and skill to inspire them and show them how to do life better.

Examples have been around since the beginning of time and who one chooses to pattern themselves or behaviors after will make a notable difference in that life. 

Why not be one who others can see as a beacon of hope, a mark of excellence, an example of which path to walk in the days allotted to us here on this earth. After all, it is what Christ has done in you that has made a difference in your life. Now, as the “salt of the earth,” you, as one in Him, can share your flavor with the world.

So many lives have been touched by wrong influences. And it’s not as if every step we take can we boast in some perfection of our own, because we cannot. But as ones who have been changed ourselves, we can help others by being a guiding light while navigating this path called life.

The current culture of our world is begging for models of good influence. Some truly don’t know which way to go or lack good examples to follow. Why not be that one? A little sprinkling of the salt that is in you can change the whole trajectory and flavor in the life of another.

Open the shaker, and pour.
