The Shell


Matt 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. NIV
Just outside where we stay, there is an abandoned shell of what was a car. I cannot tell its make, (am just pathetic when it comes to identifying car models), but am sure at some point it was in operation. Transporting whoever was the owner from point A to point B. I am quite sure it was a pride to the owners at that point, loved, cared for, serviced, licensed, insured and secured.
In those days, I cannot but imagine if the owners thought in this season, it would be an abandoned carcass, whose mere role is to stay where it is and remain as it is. To be an eyesore to others, a play stage for kids or just part of the junk on the now turned junkyard.

Everything I have is yours, but...

Have you ever been in a season where you  had so many questions, emotional turbulence and anger?  Have you ever questioned God, questioned his ways, and you even got to a point of a breakdown?

Yes, I want to talk to you today so that you appreciate that many of us have gone through that season, and if not handled well, it affects relationships -  your immediate family members, work colleagues, neighbors. You become highly irritable, angry, you are capable of releasing terrible words even to well meaning people.
