"Salt is good; but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another."(Mark 9:50)
I couldn't agree more wit those first three words! I probably have an addiction to salt at a certain level. Love potato chips! I also know as someone who enjoys cooking that salt is a key ingredient in moderation.
Of course Jesus isn't telling me to enjoy chips and all food. It is much more a statement of who we are. If we have lost our purpose, don't really know who we are or what we want out of life, that can be hard to restore. We all need a reason to be, and when we lose that definition of self, trouble comes.
Having salt in one's self to me is to believe in yourself. To realize that you have a purpose, that your life has the right seasoning to bring out the fullness of you. And when we know who we are, and what we are supposed to be doing, it becomes a lot easier to be at peace with others, when you are at peace with yourself.
Blessings,
