Salt and Light Blessing
(inspired
by Matthew 5:13-16)
In a world that is always asking us
to become something,
someone,
some success story,
someone,
some success story,
In this place we say:
don’t become,
be
who we already are.
don’t become,
be
who we already are.
Don’t become light –
be the light you already are –
this is what God anciently placed in you.
be the light you already are –
this is what God anciently placed in you.
Don’t become salt –
be the salt you already are –
be the salt you already are –
it is in this way you are known to God.
For from these elements:
Salt and Light,
God uniquely crafted you.
Salt and Light,
God uniquely crafted you.
Don’t become anything –
be who you are,
and discover the one who loves you
in your be-ing.
be who you are,
and discover the one who loves you
in your be-ing.
