Just before waking, I remember the phrase, “we are the color of the earth.” I awoke as I began to vocally respond by saying, “ I like to say we are the FLAVOR of the earth.”
I don’t remember anymore of the conversation. I so wish I did. It made me wonder just how often I have conversations similar to the likes of this in my sleep?
Today I read a short book titled, The Butterfly Effect. It shared a number of small simple stories depicted from the lives a variety of different individuals. The stories were focused on the one choice made by each individual that changed the course of history. This is referred to as The Butterfly Effect.
“There are generations yet unborn whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take today. And tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. Every single thing you do matters.” Andy Andrews
In the Bible (Matthew 5) it reads, “Ye are the salt of the earth: …”
Salt is used in foods not just to add flavor to our foods but to enhance them.
Synonyms for the word ENHANCE are; build up, complement, enlarge, increase, heighten, exalt, magnify, lift & elevate.
Now let’s refer back to the Bible. It states, YOU are the salt of the Earth. So in other words, YOU are the enhancer. YOU, yes you, elevate the earth just by being YOU.
And in the words of Andy Andrews, “You have been created as one of a kind. On the planet Earth, there has never been one like you … and there never will be again. You have been created in order that you might make a difference.”
I urge you to believe it. I do. I have always believed I was born to make a difference. But finally I believe it enough to act on it. I am ready to take courageous steps, to expand my wings, and fly. I want to be a beacon of light that leads others to truth. To the truth of who they are and to the truth of Jesus Christ. That, I know, is why I was born.
This reminder strengthens me. As if I am being put on the wings of eagles. I can continue on. I know the secret is in aligning my focus on where I want to go. Trust and act. Be brave. Go and do. I needed this today. .
