What’s for breakfast? I woke up this morning hungry and as I was cleaning up and getting my bed made, I was thinking about eggs, bacon and toast, yum! Fry the bacon first, then use the bacon grease to cook the eggs, I like mine over easy, and wait for the toaster to pop, then my breakfast is ready! After blessing it, I’m ready to take that first bite, oh yess, no, I forgot to season it! A little salt, a little pepper and it is just the way I like it, yes, yum again!
You know, sometimes this how we try to share God’s love. We tell how great His love is, even quoting scriptures like “oh, taste and see that the Lord is good” and describe it so deliciously that they are ready to take that first bite but then as they watch us and don’t see it in us, living the love we’ve been talking about, they turn away because there is no seasoning to taste! Matthew 5:13, says we are the salt of the earth but if there is no saltyness, what good are you!
Our real message is how we live own lives, the example we set! Does it line up with what we share?
Just a thought, just saying!
