Matthew 5: 13-16
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. 14You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither 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. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
This verse was shared in Ngeremlengui Evangelical Church on a Sunday service (11/08/09) by Deacon Aro Remengesau. God is speaking directly to me clearly and explicitly on what His purpose is for my life. These days, I find myself being drawn into the chaos of everyday life without stopping to thank God and to entrust everything in Him. Who am I trying to kid? Who is it that makes the sun rise from the east, turn the sky into day and cause the rain to fall and the flowers to bloom? It is none other than God, the Maker, the King, and best of all, our Father.
Lord, help me be the daughter you want me to be. Forgive me for the thoughts, words and actions I have that do not bring glory to your name. I give you my heart, my mind, my soul and my body for you to control. Make me whole again. Bring me closer to you and walk with me as I face each day. Help me be the salt and light that you want me to be, for my family, my community and to the world. Amen.
