Scripture: Matthew 13-21

Meditation: How many times have you heard about all of the negative things going on in the world and felt hopeless? How can we be salt and light in a world where the most vulnerable are targeted for atrocities, a world with so many natural disasters, a world that does not seem to value the dignity of the human person?

Salt and light provide contrast to the unseasoned, dark world. Even the slightest bit will make a difference in taste and appearance. Look at verses 17 and 18. Jesus is not concerned with how little or much the disciples have to offer. He knows all of our limitations and imperfections. When we bring the little we have to him, he will multiply it for his perfect purposes. Mother Teresa is quoted as writing or saying, "Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness."
 

Prayer: Lord, help us to be the salt and light in a world that needs the seasoning of joy and the light of love. Amen.

 

You don’t have to be the best in order to give your all.
