Reached America last year on their day of thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day as they call it, where even as celebrations went on, I also heard voices of discontent and simmering anger from groups of Native Indians, the original settlers of America. They spoke of atrocities, of hypocrisy and unfair means used in their displacement into reservations created for them.
Those were the American Indians! What about we Christian Indians in India? Do we have things to be thankful for, while living in a country where we are a minority?
Yes, we have and plenty!
Here, is a country, where as just two percent we can become the salt this nation so badly needs. Everyday, we can increase and enhance the flavor through our lives. Every moment we can be role models to the people around. Every hour, have those around asking why we are so different.
Why? The people ask.
Why didn’t you give a bribe to the policeman?
Why didn’t you react in anger?
Why? Why? Why?
You all must have heard the tale of two salesmen from two different shoe companies who landed in an African port hundreds of years ago. The first salesman looked at the crowds outside his ship and sent a message back to his firm, “No one wears shoes here. Mission will be a failure. Am returning by the same ship!”
The second salesman sent a message to his parent company, “No shoes worn here! What a huge market! Immense potential!”
And that should be the slogan of we the two percent, “Huge market here, immense potential!”
Give thanks that you were chosen to be part of a minority, where every single action of yours can win souls for Christ!
Give thanks, that because of this huge unbelieving majority, you will be forced to rely on the absolute, invincible power of an almighty God!
Give thanks that you are still in a secular country, where the law allows you not only to worship, but preach the gospel, and thus allow you access to untouched fields!
I am not going to go into the thanks that you can give for material things, or health or family. If all those things are good, do thank God, but today, I want to focus on the thankfulness we need to have, for being given the opportunity of being the salt of this country!
Now go beyond thankfulness and spread your salt among the people around you, creating a flavor where people will see God through your lives..!
