Salt or Pepper

How do you think people would describe you if they were talking about you today? What would they say about your character, is it the type that attracts people or repel them? This thought reminds me of a few weeks ago someone my wife and I know made us a certain dish. I liked it but wife did not because it had to much pepper in it for her so she threw it away. Just think about it for a moment, do we have character in us that make us like that certain dish and people want to get away from us. I know what your immediate answer is but really consider this; we are suppose to be like salt ( " Ye are the salt of the earth....") and season the lives of people we come into contact with. Salt preserves, penetrates, and heals. Meats use to be packed in salt so that it would keep or be preserved. Whenever you eat something you normally dont see salt sitting on top because it has penetrated the food and you just taste it. When I got my tooth pulled a few weeks ago the denist told me to rinse with warm water and salt because of the healing effect. There is another thing salt does and that is it melts cold thats why when we have a freeze salt is put on bridges and streets so the ice will melt. Now can you imagine having the type of personality and character that could help melt the cold issues in someone`s heart. Can you imagine bringing a smile to somebody`s face that usually wears a frown. We should know that we should be salt because thats who the Lord said that we are; but we can only be after he has penetrated us. Being salt it is possible you can stop someone from committing suicide or killing somebody else. Salt`s value is immense in the the world today so you choose, salt or pepper.
