Back to School and Cooties Week

I read an article a week ago that said the best strategy for staying physically healthy is to avoid strangers. I guess that way you don't get any of their cooties and stuff. Sometimes that same strategy creeps into my spiritual life. I want to stay spiritually healthy so I avoid being around people I don't know, especially those worldly sinners. After all, I don't want to catch any strange cooties and get as sick as they are. Honestly, there is a part of me that really thinks that way sometimes.

Then I remember the salt and light thing. You know, where Believers of Jesus Christ are supposed to be salt and light in a corrupt and dark world. I also think of what Jesus did for me on the cross and how that is available to everyone. And how much God loves people and how many of them don't know that. Suddenly, catching a few cooties seems very insignificant and I find myself going back to school and learning lessons God has for my heart.
