The Salt of the Earth

Matthew 5:13

Every one of us is the salt of the earth,
If salt looses its savor, looses its worth;
Thenceforth good for nothing and cast out,
For any use for it would be much in doubt;
We need to show true potential and value,
With everything that we say and all we do;
Helping others for those who are hurting,
Provide inner peace as you're comforting;
In helping others you grow in spirituality,
Then God makes your dreams a reality;
Even though unseen dreams are for real,
God does want the end results to reveal;
You'll feel a flowing spirit a new attitude,
Elevating your dreams to a new altitude;
If you just want to be a hermit find a cave,
Guaranteeing you going to an early grave;
As with salt you'll also loose your flavor,
For your relationship has lost God's favor;
God enjoys ensuring your desires are met,
By showing loving care to pay your debt.
