Matthew 5:13
"Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.
14-16"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

Be salty! Be light! I love this. Don't be afraid to stand out and be different. Don't just go along with the crowd. When God asks you to do something, it's usually outside of your comfort zone. Sometimes the truth is salty, not sweet. Convicting, not comforting. But at the same time be light, be hope, be love.
God corrects the ones He loves. Don't be offended if someone needs to correct you. Hopefully they do it in love, but even if they don't, just receive it, change the thing you're doing and count yourself loved by God.
