Greg Laurie’s Daily Devotion for the fourth of July (free registration required) really reverberated in me. Christ calls us to be salt and light to the world, and looking at some of the examples Laurie presents, I can see the areas where I have failed to be that salt, where I have stumbled in to the darkness from the light.
I hope and pray you can see those areas in your life as well, not so that we can feel bad about them, or use them to bring one another down. Rather, we look at them and recognize them for what they are, pray for the strengthening of the Spirit, and look to not repeat them. I pray as Christians we are salty as often as possible.
