Christmas thoughts: What you are

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 by men.
Matthew 6:13 (NIV) 

Christ follower...don't lose what it is that God made you to be to serve the world in the way only you can.  If you do, then you lose your sense of purpose and you lose you momentum, and it's likely that you'll get trampled by those that don't get it.  Don't just quit being what God has called you to be and "lay down" waiting for it to happen.


How do you lose it?  By taking your eyes off Christ daily...by putting your judgment ahead of God's...by listening to those naysayers who are rarely party to the conversations that you and God had.

Stand up...be what God called you to be...let Him worry about that results of that.  It says later to "let your light shine before men"...that's YOUR light.  Not someone else's light that seems to have it more together or to have it figured out, it's YOUR light, the light that God placed in you, the gift that God gave you...the light that is fueled by hanging around the true Light of the world, Jesus.  Light it up!
