Inspiration. Originally we tried to depict a different part of the scriptures but the spirit developed this design of a heap of salt on the ground in our minds. The salt was coarse and rough and didn’t have any particular function or ability other than being itself, being salt. The ground was hard, impenetrable, almost rock like and its potential to bear fruit was not discernible.
Then droplets of clean water gathered around the salt and some of the droplets made the salt to dissolve. Once dissolved, the salt could penetrate the rock-hard ground and add the missing ingredient for the ground to bring forth fruit.
We are the salt, purified by the blood of the Lamb. Being salt is our identity but we cannot do anything out of our own strength. Only when Ruach HaKodesh (the spirit of G-d) comes and we start soaking in him can he change us so that we can bring to others around us the blessings they need and so bear fruit.
Matthew 5:13-16
You are the salt of the earth. … You are the light of the world.
