What kind of light are you?

Salt and Light

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 underfoot.

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

- Matthew 5:13-14

This had been a rather unusual week. An unusual week of catching up with friends from church, and school. The topics and issues that were discussed really piqued my interest and sparked some deep reflection about my faith. A close friend shared how she felt uncomfortable sharing some things with Christians...We are called to be salt and light of the world, being ambassadors of Christ...yet somehow, being set apart may be the very thing that makes people uncomfortable...I thank God for helping me to live a christian life, at the same time, it is my prayer that God will use me as a light that brings comfort and not one to be shunned.
