Lord, You stand actively, covering me with Your blood, forgiving and forgiving my sins. My mission is to further Your kingdom and spreading Your truth in all ways: action and words. To share, unashamedly. To love, patiently. To make decisions in light of what You have said, and to put Your relationship with me, and YOU- first.

The Mission. What I realized over Spring Break during a session that God has called each of His children the salt of the world and light of the earth. I finally understood that these characteristics are present tense. This is who I am and describes what I am meant to do. The salt gives flavor and without it (and without fridges) things decompose. The Lord has given to the world His hands and feet through people in order to bring life through words and actions. The light stands in the darkness and is necessary for growth. The Lord also put us in the world to grow and bring growth to others. | How You Can. The second part of what I realized is that the only reason I am His child, and therefore the salt of the world and light of the earth, is because of His death and resurrection. Without it, I would be paying the penalty of my own sin, death. But with his payment of my sin, I am moment by moment covered entirely by His blood, making every vanish. It has been paid for, by Him. He has forgiven me entirely and loves me as His daughter. This is the only way I could have been the salt of the world and light of the earth for Him. For without knowing who saved me from my own death, how could I have known He wanted to reveal to me the purpose that would make me most satisfied? |
