The Story of the birth of the Salt Man
On Valentine’s Day 2011, I was in hospital for 21 days on the bed of affliction with a debilitating fungus lung condition- and my husband was out of town. I closed the curtains around my bed as I hungered for a time of intimacy with Jesus, my Valentine. As the night progressed, His presence became more and more tangible and He brought to mind Matthew 5:13-16.
As I meditated on this manna, being the salt and being the light to a ding world- He spoke to my heart, commissioning me to create a ‘brand’ that will challenge his children to live this out. He made it clear that our speech (salt) and actions (light) should accurately reflect Him, creating a hunger in those who don’t know Him yet- evangelising without preaching!
He showed me the single picture of a ‘salt man’. Amazingly, as the next day dawned and the doctor checked my lung status, she was incredulous- my lungs were clear. I shared my experience with her and she, with tear stained cheeks, celebrated with me. My joy is simply to be obedient!
