I found this very edifying Salt -VS- Rice If you were to cook 3 cups of rice, would you add 3 cups of salt to it? I certainly hope not!
So, in preparing rice, the rice always outnumbers the salt, yet a little salt makes a huge difference / impact in the overall outcome. Take for instance the room in which you currently are, look up at the ceiling... Yes, I said look up! Is there any comparison between the size of the bulb compared to the size of the room? In the room from which I typed this, my guesstimate is probably around a ratio of 1:5000. Yet, darkness flees the entire room once the small bulb is flipped on.
“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. “You are the light of the world like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden." - Matthew 5:13-14 NLT.
Yeah as the salt of the earth, and the light of the world then "little me" have the abilities to make big impact and make things happen.
Sometimes, because we feel outnumbered or overwhelmed at the sheer magnitude of evil or wrong-doers, we then prefer powerlessness, and decide to go with the flow, not standing up for what we believe is right.
Stop it! Little is not insignificant. You are significant. Your presence should make a BIG impact. Stop expecting to be on the side of the majority. They may be the majority, yeah for sure but they are the trivial majority, and you are the impactful minority.
They are the rice of the world, you are the salt of the world. They are the room, and you are the light. Make your time on earth well spent. what will you be remembered for? We are just like a book that people are going to read, make your story an interesting one to read. Make your influence felt!
CONCLUSION
"You are the world’s seasoning, to make it tolerable. If you lose your flavor, what will happen to the world? And you yourselves will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless." - Matthew 5:13 TLB.
I am the salt, who are you??
