Awaken

On behalf of September 18, 2015

Do not be salty in recognition of the discipline that you have received because it is only out of love that the Lord rebukes or chastises you for what has happened.  He has given you real lessons though they might sting.  This is the way to truly awake from your complacency and reinvigorate your life.  This is how you grow and learn to be more Christ-like.  And now that you know, child, go and be salt and light.  go forth and make fishers of men.

This is because he loves you.  Because of this, you can have a chance in the future.  Anything else would be a disservice to you.  You would falter when it matters infinitely more.  But this is setting you up to learn while the stakes are low and to prepare you.  Always preparing you for the next step.  For the revealing of his glory in an infinitely greater and more glorious way.
