"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

Devotional Reflection
Jesus never wanted us to give up being morally different, being a force for good, or showing love to those around us. The reason we are in the world is to keep our culture from getting worse and to add grace and mercy to a world where everyone is out for themselves.
Prayer
Dear holy and mighty LORD, please help me not to become like the people around me. Instead, dear Father, please use the fact that I'm a Christian to bless other people and help Your Kingdom grow. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
