People would like to “make a difference” in the world.
But how can you make a difference if you are small and ordinary?
Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth.” (Matthew 5:13)
Salt is small and ordinary. When it is used on something it becomes invisible. Yet it has a transformational effect.
You may seem tiny and invisible to the world as a whole; yet when you join in the Spirit of Christ, you become a part of transforming the world.
Likewise Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14)
He also said, “I am the light of the world.” (John 8:12)
We may feel that we are hardly qualified to be a “light of the world,” but we can bring light for others when we let the light of Christ shine through us.
So you can make a difference today, when you open yourself in faith to the empowerment of Christ – to become salt and light for the world.
