Please Pass Me The Salt.

Please pass me the salt.

Does anyone even know that you are a believer?

Do they even have a glimpse of your faith?

Do they have an idea of how your walk of faith has been lately?

Or is it only those that you go to church with?

At your workplace, school, home, do your actions portray or betray him?

Coz you might be the only example they have to know Christ!

Can they even substantiate the difference between your actions and theirs?

 See, the issue is you’re neither hot nor cold and am afraid he’s about to spit you out!

And you wonder why they look at you and despise the reality of Christianity!

Coz the huge gap between you and who you claim to be keeps glaring and widening!

You are a seed sown to season tasteless lives as you walk the talk,

When their loved ones are no more, in despair and hopelessness,

Can they approach you in believe that you will probably pray for them and ignite the healing process in their lives?

 

When they invite you for 'fun moments', do you still feel persuaded to follow?

Are you ashamed of declaring that your body is his temple to be kept holy for his glory?

See, like salt, you are called to retain your taste while still passing it to the rest of the world,

 
You are called to be medicinal; to preserve lives and deter decay,

And you wonder why the emergence of camouflaged “body of Christ”- the church?

Coz you are too worried about others’ opinions that you forget your essence for existence.

You are the salt of the earth,

Called to revive lives with a touch of his amazing love and mercy,

You are called to restore- to call back those lives in drugs and sexual addictions into his palace,

Called to guide and protect,

Protect those new born babies in faith while guiding them in the way of the Lord,

You are called to pass the salt into their lives and let them see the Christ in you,

Christ didn’t stretch out his life on the cross in hiding,

He did it openly and in daylight for all to see, yet our testimonies of his redemption lay low in silence,
Would you therefore stand tall and let him be known; let your actions and words walk in harmony,

In confidence let the world know that you were indeed redeemed,

For while we were still sinners, Christ died for us,

Jesus is counting on you big time,

Would you now please pass me the salt,
