Salt

Everyday conversations. On the road. In the store. Are my words seasoned with salt? 

Flavored with the gospel? Purified with truth?

Salt caught my attention when we were living in a dry and thirsty land. On the way to the beach, we passed white fields of sea salt.  

Harvested from the Arabian Sea.

Engraved

Sin.
Engraved by diamond point. 
Written with iron stylus. 
On the tablets of their hearts 
and ours.

Witness

“We’ve found Him,” Philip says. Bearing witness. Talking about the Promised One. 

And in the pushback from Nathanael, he doesn’t argue. But simply says, “Come and see.” [John 1:43-51]

Over the years, we sojourn in several different countries. Among various cultures and religious traditions. Doing life with new friends, we hear their stories. Share ours.

Over tea with a friend, I bear witness. Tell the most important Story in my life.  About the Promised One who came. And changed me for eternity.
