We’re back! My son Bo and I have just finished a whirlwind summer. I’ve been touring the Midwest and Canada with an Italian puppet opera, and Bo has been working at a special needs camp in Texas.
We chatted on our porch this weekend about being salt and light, as Bo has been making sourdough bread lately but keeps forgetting to add the salt! A pinch of salt makes a world of difference.
There’s a story about a young man who was hired to be an usher at a big theater. He was supposed to attend a special training session before working his first shift, but he said he didn’t need it. The man who hired him said, “But what if there’s a fire and you don’t know what to do?” The young man replied, “Oh, don’t worry about me, I’ll find a way out.”
The young man missed the point! He was hired to help others find their way!
God cares deeply about your walk with Him. But He also wants you to share that joy with others. The Bible says:
“He has called you out of darkness to experience His marvelous light, and now He claims you as His very own. He did this so that you would broadcast His glorious wonders throughout the world. For at one time you were not God’s people, but now you are. At one time you knew nothing of God’s mercy, because you hadn’t received it yet, but now you are drenched with it!” (1 Peter 2:9-10).
Let me encourage you today in two things:
- Lean into your relationship with Jesus like never before. Listen to Bo’s worship song at the end of our video and let God “remind you of your love for Him.”
- Lean into sharing about your walk with Jesus with others. You can be the salt and light they need to experience the full life that God has in mind for them, too.
Keep pointing people to Jesus! We ALL need Him… more and more each day.
