Salty Sweet

Last week I posted that this month's focus will be on Positivity with a special emphasis on social media. This is one of my favorite topics! 

Social media is such a huge part of our lives. Our culture loves to document everything like food, shoes, hanging out with friends, and a million other things. I mean.... I do that. It's fun! We like to show people that we are doing interesting and cool things with the intention of gaining a like or a comment of approval. Being able to share things that you love and make connections with other people is what makes social media so cool. 

I want to challenge you to be aware of what you're posting, sharing, and liking. As believers in Christ we are called to be salt and light (go read this cool chunk of scripture!). What does that mean?

Think about salt. It brings flavor to bland food, helps heal wounds (even though it hurts like crazy!), helps fresh flowers last longer when in vases (add a pinch of salt into the water), plus a ton of other useful things. Long story short, salt makes a difference. 

Light also makes a difference. If you're in a dark room, the tiniest bit of light can help your eyes adjust and you can slowly start to see. 

According to Matthew 5:13, we are supposed to be that difference in our culture. 

You have the opportunity to be salt and light over your social media handles. You don't have to post negative tweets, statuses, or comments. You can glorify the Lord with positivity even when you're dealing with problems. 

Go do it!

Blessings,
